sort columns

Hi Andy and Blair,

When adding lines to a list or changing the model of that list, the sort icon on the column that was last clicked stays visible, even though the list isn't sorted by that column anymore. I couldn't find a 'standard' way to 1. remove the icon or 2. resort by that column.

As in my app the user would want to retain the sort order, I had to add the following method to ListView:

ListView>>resort

lastClickedColIndex ifNotNil: [ :a |

self sortOnColumn: (self columnAtIndex: lastClickedColIndex)]

Could/should that (and a way to remove the icon) be part of the standard image?

Thanks,

Ted

Well there is the (admittedly private) method #forgetLastClickedColumn.

Actually I wonder if that ought not to happen automatically if the list is
changed?

Yes, I think it should.
