Programmatically sorting works only when column is visible [message #1726150]

I have a Table with lots of columns. When opening my table I want to have an initial sorting of a column which is not visible.
By doing so I used the SortColumnCommand

 natTable.doCommand( new SortColumnCommand( natTable,
                               MyTableConstants.TIME_COLUMN_POSITION + 1, SortDirectionEnum.DESC ) );

This is not working unless the column is currently visible in the viewport.
Is there a way to force it?

P.S not visible != hidden

Not via command. The concept of commands is to use the position and transform it. This is to support user interactions. If you want to sort by hidden columns you will need to access the SortHeaderLayer API directly, because the command should not get to that layer as the column is hidden.

Hi Dirk,
thanks for your response. Using the SortHeaderLayer API worked out for me.
