Product Version: NetBeans IDE 6.7 RC3 (Build 200906090001) Java: 1.6.0_14-ea; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 14.0-b12 System: Windows XP version 5.1 running on x86; Cp1252; en_US (nb) -profile a project -take a heap dump -on some class in the dump window/classes tab invoke 'show instances' popup menu action -in instances tab enable all tables (instances,fields,references) -only 'instances' table is sortable by selecting a column, other tables do not respond on clicking on their columns. The same applies for the 'static fields' table in the 'instances' tab. According to specification, all tables should be sortable by each column.
Could you please point us to the specification you are writing about? I'm not aware of any HeapWalker specification. AFAIK all tables in the HeapWalker are sortable, the treetables (not tables!) Fields and References are not sortable intentionally. We might implement sorting for the treetables in some future release, changing this issue to ENHANCEMENT.
