[news.eclipse.tools] Re: having trouble using ViewerSorter

[John Arthorne <john_arthorne@xxxxxxxx>]

A good example to look at for this is the task list. Under
plugins/org.eclipse.ui/workbenchsrc.zip, you'll find the following classes:

org.eclipse.ui.views.tasklist.TaskList
org.eclipse.ui.views.tasklist.TaskSorter

If you look through the code for these, you'll find how to add and configure
sorters based on column selection in a TableViewer.  In particular see
TaskList#createColumns.  Hope this helps!
