The "state" needs to be a property of the individual model object or accessible 
via a key path. AFAIK, there is no other way when you are using 
bindings/NSArrayController, unless you don't allow the NSArrayController to 
handle sorting (and use NSTableView delegation), but I have never tried that so 
I can't say whether it will work.
