Is there an example of how multiple column sorting can be done on the tableviewer? I have found examples of single column sorting, but nothing related to accomplishing a multiple sort. If anyone has successfully done this, could you please share how it was done?
We have a dialog where we select the columns by which to sort. Assuming that we somehow persist / remember this information, and have access to it in the comparator implementation, I am not sure how the multi-column sort would be accomplished inside the "compare()" method.... after all, the comparator compares two objects at a time... how is it possible to sort on multiple columns in such a case? This is where I am looking for some help or a sample.
Thanks.

I was able to implement this similar to the concept of sorting multi-dimensional arrays. So, inside the compare() method, I would look at the multiple values (corresponding to multiple columns) on the first object, and then compare each value with the same values on the other object.
