My apologies, I have figured out that I need to listen to the QHeaderView's
sectionClicked(int) signal.
But I am still stuck. How do I override the function that normally does the
sorting? I tried subclassing from QTableWidget and reimplementing
sortByColumn(), but my function never gets called:
class MyQTableWidget(QTableWidget):
def sortByColumn(self, col, order):
print 'called!'
What am I doing wrong to implement my own sortByColumn?
Many thanks for any advice
