How Can I Sort An SWT Table Using Only The Keyboard [message #847746]

Is it possible to create an SWT table that a user can sort using only the keyboard? Ideally the user could give a table column heading the focus via the keyboard, and then hit another key or set of keys to sort the column. I haven't been able to find anything helpful in all of my internet searching. Thanks.
