Sorting JTable with fixed column

I need to make a jtable with these requirements:
- The first two columns fixed
- It should sort the rows by clicking on the headers name

By clicking on the column header both columns need to be sorted

http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/table.html

The discussion includes a way to sort columns, which should be exactly what
you need. JDK 1.6 should include this behaviour as standard, previous
versions can use the code from the tutorial verbatim.

To make the first two columns uneditable, extend DefaultTableModel:

public class MyTableModel extends DefaultTableModel
{
public boolean isCellEditable(int row, int column)
{
return column >= 2;
}
}

Yes, I had see the exaple but i need that the first two columns are
fixed and the other scroll.
e.g.
The table have 6 columns and 4 are diplayed.

---------------------------------

| Col 1 | Col 2 | Col 3 | Col 4 |
| | | | |

scrollbar -> <------------->

Using the scrollbar the first two columns are displayed with the column
5 and 6

---------------------------------

| Col 1 | Col 2 | Col 5 | Col 6 |
| | | | |

<-------- ------>

I have never tried anything like this. I think you would need to write
a custom UIManager, or maybe a custom JScrollPane. I'm not sure how to
get started on this though. Perhaps a different approach would be
feasible, such as two separate JTables side by side, or some other
workaround.

You may get a better reply at sun's own java forums. The swing forum
can be found at http://forum.java.sun.com/forum.jspa?forumID=57

I would be interested in any solution you come up with.

Use JTable and new support classes found on JDK 1.6 (or 6).
