Description Humphrey Lim CLA 2002-05-22 14:04:37 EDT 
The control used in the Class Statistics View is a SWT table. SWT uses on 
Windowsa list view control to create the SWT table control. The list view 
control on Windows provides only mouse click access to the header, the header 
doesn't receive focus so it cannot be reached by pressing tab. As an example 
Windows Explorer, which uses the same control to display folders and files
doesn't have this accessibility function implemented.

I'm sorry for being dense, but I don't understand what this PR is saying. If 
Windows Explorer "doesn't have this accessibility function implemented", 
why should we?

Are you saying that Eclipse needs to have an alternative way to request 
that the columns be sorted? If so, this is a UI issue, not SWT. SWT does 
not provide any table sorting functionality. The behavior is implemented in 
a layer above us.

Moving to UI for consideration.
