get name of sorted column from table

[gabrielaradu]

Hello,
This might not be the proper place to ask this and it is a very stupid(newbie) question
I have this table, i sort some columns and now i want to know exactly the name of the column that was sorted and in what state it is: sorted ASC , or DESC.
This method: "getSortingColumns()" returns the columns i sort but it;s like this: com.jidesoft.grid.ISortableTableModel$SortItem@1b66aff.
I thought that this object has a property like "getName()" or something, but it doesn't. I might be going in the wrong way here , don't know. If you have an idea please guide me on the right direction.
Thank you

I found my problem

after i get the list of sortedColumns, i iterate over it
for (Iterator iterator = sortingColumns.iterator(); iterator.hasNext();) {
SortItem item = (SortItem)iterator.next();
System.out.println("no of column : " + item.getColumn());
System.out.println("item is ascending or not : " + item.isAscending());
}

The type of "item" must be SortItem and this gets you want u want. Should have waited a bit before asking on the forum but either way, maybe it'll help somebody some day.
thx anyways.
