I have a JTable extension that has been in use since Java 1.3/1.4 in the project that provided things like column reordering and sorting by clicking on the column. We are upgrading to Java 1.6, and the new JTable stops the old sorting code from working. It would be somewhat extensive rework to fit everything to the new JTable API. Until then is there a way to completely disable those additions in JTable?

Edit: After the further investigation, the problem is centered around the fact that the mouse events on the header are swallowed by Swing in 1.6, and not passed on to the table implementation, even though it sets its own header rendered. So much for vaunted Java backwards compatibility.

So is there a way to get JTable 1.6 to stop? I haven't been able to. Even overriding the UI on the table and the table header didn't help.

Have you tried JTable.setRowSorter(null) ?

edit : and setAutoCreateRowSorter ? (1. create table, 2. row sorter to null, 3. autocreate sorter to false, 4. set model).
