EVALUATION The fix should be: a) use the new TableRowSorter for sorting the JTable in the details view; b) for sorting in the list view, create a specialized model for JList that would use the row sorter from the JTable; c) in ShellFolderColumnInfo class, add a boolean field to specify whether the column comparator expects the column value or the file itself; d) in ShellFolderManager, provide appropriated comparators for the default column set.
