I saw that before I posted my question, but I didn't think it was relevant, since it seemed to be talking about a table loaded from a data source rather than a table that uses bindings.

I didn't see that one before, but now I have tried calling -[NSTableView setSortDescriptors:] after adding content, and it didn't work.

Invoking -setSortDescriptors: on the array controller does sort it (or should).
Back on 10.4, it may have been necessary to follow that with a call to 
-rearrangeObjects.

-[NSArrayController setSortDescriptors:] alone doesn't work for me even on 10.6, but that combined with -[NSArrayController rearrangeObjects] does the trick. That is, I set use setSortDescriptors: once, and use rearrangeObjects whenever I add new items to the table.


Thanks for the replies!
