TableBox Auto Sort-by-when-clicking

In some platforms, like Process Screening, the TableBoxes are set up to automatically sort by a column when that column's header is clicked.

 

When I just create my own tableBox, this doesn't happen, I have to right-click and "Sort by Column Header".

 

How can I configure my TableBoxes (using JSL) to automatically sort by column when the column's header is clicked?

Re: TableBox Auto Sort-by-when-clicking

You are looking for this option for a table box tb:

tb << Set Click Sort(1);

To have a full example: 

New Window( "Mountains",
 tb = Table Box(
  String Col Edit Box(
   "Mountain",
   {"K2", "Delphi", "Kilimanjaro",
   "Grand Teton"}
  ),
  Number Col Edit Box(
   "Elevation (meters)",
   {8611, 681, 5895, 4199}
  ),
  Plot Col Box( "", {8611, 681, 5895, 4199} )
  
 ) 
);
// optional forced sorting
tb << Sort by Column(1,1);
wait(2);
tb << Sort by Column(1,0);
wait(2);
tb << Sort by Column(2,1);
// What you want: Sort on Click
tb << Set Click Sort (1);
