Re: NetBeans Application with sortable Table and pre-existing frame/table code

How do I get this modified code to work.

I modified the working/good code from the attached link to the below code. =
The reason I do not want to use the code exactly on this link is it creates=
 a new window and doesn't use the form that I already am using. The pre-exi=
sting form has jPanel1 (swing JPanel) containing jPanel3 (swing JPanel). An=
d, jPanel3 contains jTable1 (swing JTable).

http://www.java-tips.org/java-se-tips/javax.swing/sorting-and-filtering-tab=
les.html

(jTable1 was dragged to the form from the swing control palette. Design vi=
ew shows a table with 4 columns and 4 rows, but the area is blanked out whe=
n I run the project!)

The below code compiles and runs, but the form's jTable1 is not populated w=
ith the data.

Thanks for any help,
