How can i sort java JTable with an empty Row and force the Empty row always be last?
http://www.java.net/node/645655
the only difference is that i would like to insert the new row after the row that is currently selected. the default behavior of DefaultRowSorter would sort immediately when the row is inserted, while what i need is to turn off sorting temporarily so that i could insert the row in a position that i specified, not a position from the sorter
i noticed that there were 2 links provided in How can i sort java JTable with an empty Row and force the Empty row always be last?, but they are not valid anymore, that's why i created this new question.
