Hello, I tried to adopt the sortable columns example, but failed.
What am i missing?

Hi,

what you are missing is the sorting. It looks like you copied some code out of the SortableGridExample which uses a custom GlazedLists grid with special layers there. The sort configuration you copied will be used by the GlazedListsSortModel, which you don't use in your example.
Furthermore, in your example you don't configure a SortHeaderLayer. If you want to use sorting with such a simple example (that means without GlazedLists), just add the SortHeaderLayer on top of your ColumnHeaderLayer and define your custom ISortModel. The getCustomComparatorConfiguration() is not needed there.

You can find some additional NatTable examples here http://www.beone-group.com/publikationen.html in the "NatTable 2.2 - ..." section. There is an example for sorting there, so maybe this helps you in understanding what to do.

Greez,
Dirk

P.S. This is also described here http://eclipse.org/nattable/documentation.php?page=sorting
