Question

I have a Jtable on which I called the method
table1.setAutoCreateRowSorter(true);.
So this works on well.
But I also have a methos in my JFrame class which is fired when i push a button. It gets the selected rows indexes using this code
int selectedRows[] = this.table1.getSelectedRows();.
And displays an edit window for the first row corresponding in the selected interval.

The problem is that if I don’t click on column’s headers (I mean i don’t sorte them at all) my method works perfect. But when I sort the row, the indexes of the rows doesn’t seems to change at all – thus resulting an edit window for the old row whicn was initially in that position before making any sort.

I am using JDK 6 could anyonw give ma a tip?

Answer 1

The underlying model does not change order. Only the view changes. You can read more about this in Sun’s tutorial. You will need to use JTable.convertRowIndexToView() and JTable.convertRowIndexToModel().
