Jtable sorting question - string works, but numbers don't

Question

Hi,
I have a Jtable which is populated from an Object two-dimensional array (myData). The object itself already containes string types and int types as appropriate (after a cumbersome type conversion).
I can sort by the string column, but the number column does not get sorted correctly..i.e it shows 1, 11, 2, 3, 33, 50..etc..
below is the code I am using:
JScrollPane jScrollPane1 = new javax.swing.JScrollPane();
JTable jTable1 = new JTable(myData,columNames);
jTable1.setAutoCreateRowSorter(true);
add(new JScrollPane(jTable1));
jScrollPane1.setViewportView(jTable1);
Can anyone help?
thanks

Answer 1

so, could you show me how to do what he suggests, override the getColumnClass thingy
I can't figure it out.
package tableclass;
import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JScrollPane;
import javax.swing.JTable;
public class EditorTest extends JFrame
    JTable table = new JTable(10, 5);
    public EditorTest()
        table.setPreferredScrollableViewportSize(table.getPreferredSize());
        JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane( table );
        getContentPane().add( scrollPane, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
    @Override;
    public class getColumnClass(int columnIndex){
        //idk wtf i'm doing.
    public static void main(String[] args)
        EditorTest frame = new EditorTest();
        frame.setDefaultCloseOperation( EXIT_ON_CLOSE );
        frame.pack();
        frame.setLocationRelativeTo( null );
        frame.setVisible(true);
}
