I'm making a simple app which uses lists, Tk::Hlist to be specific. Here is a picture. I would like the ability to sort the list by clicking on the column header. I know how to do this (just an alternating regular/reverse sql query in this case), but does Tk::Hlist support it? I didn't see it in the docs. If not Tk::Hlist, is there another widget which would act similarly? I guess I could always add some buttons under the columns.... The list could bet very long, so some sorting mechanism is needed. Thanks much.

In case you aren't sure what I'm talking about, by 'sorted lists', here is an example in CGI. Clicking the column title reverses the order.
