Default icon for sortable columns

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I have a new requirement related to Jmesa sorting.

Say in a table there are 4 fields... A,B,C and D. Among them only B
and D are sortable .

This can be easily done with ..
ffieldName.setFilterable(new Boolean(false)); with A and C .

This works fine and sorting is also ok .

But the client needs an icon on the header of B and D such that the
user can very easily know which fields are sortable and which are
not .In that case the user does not require to move his mouse over the
column header (i.e. B and D ) to know which field is sortable .

I think it is a small but very much logical requirement .If
implemented, it will simply improve the user friendliness of the Jmesa
table .Can be a handy feature !!

This is more of an enhancement than an issue .

Sorry I was wrong in saying the line as 
fieldName.setFilterable(new Boolean(false)); with A and C
Instead it should be 
fieldName.setSortable(new Boolean(false));

This would be an improvement to the HtmlHeaderEditor class...patches are 
welcome!
