You are correct. I added this binding. And I also set the TableColumn to: Sort Key = Name Selector = localizedCaseInsensitiveCompare: Both seem to be necessary. > >> What am I missing? > > Possibly that using bindings with a view-based table view is more trouble > than it's worth?

But I digress… My experience with TableViews is: I usually start with bindings, but when things start getting a bit more complicated (they usually do) I switch back to DataSource. Slightly more code, much less head-ache. But this project is just about learning. Thanks for your help!

At a wild guess, I'd suspect you neglected to bind the table's Sort Descriptors binding to the array controller's "sortDescriptors" property. This probably happens automatically for a cell-based table view, but perhaps (like the Content binding) needs to be done explicitly for a view-based table view. > What am I missing? Possibly that using bindings with a view-based table view is more trouble than it's worth? (I don't mean bindings to the cell view's objectValue. That's worth doing.)

Sorting a view based TableView with bindings
I have a cell-based TableView which is filled via ArrayController using bindings. Sorting just works. Now I changed this to a view-based TableView and suddenly no more automatic sorting. It has just one column which uses an NSTableCellView. The Static Text has it's Value bound to Table Cell View objectValue.Name. And I want the column to be sorted via localizedCaseInsensitiveCompare:. I tried to set in “Table Column Attributes inspector”: Sort Key = objectValue.Name or Name Selector = localizedCaseInsensitiveCompare (with trailing : or not) The values seems to be irrelevant; anything non-nil activates the up/down triangle. But nothing changes the order of the rows. When I click on the header nothing happens (except the current selection is set to none and the small triangle on the right side alternate between up and down). What am I missing? What documentation should I read? Gerriet. ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
