Actually, that's what I do, and it works well.  You can set up sort
properties in IB on a tablecolumn but not on an array controller.  On
the tablecolumn, I'll set the 'sort key' attribute and the 'selector'
attribute (to localizedStandardCompare:, if you support 10.6+) then in
my windowcontroller's awakeFromNib I set the arraycontroller's sort
descriptor by fetching the tableview's.
