Hello,
I'd like to display an overwiew of the entries of a database table with perl tk.

The overview should:

* be sorted by clicking on one of the columnnames according to this columns entries. It would be very good if clicking once again on the same columnname would reverse the sorting order.
* have rows with different backgroundcolors (or different foregroundcolors) according to some criteria e.g. days of the week.

As far as I know it is not possible to sort with listbox nor is it possible to have different colors for the rows.
Sorting seems to function with Hlist but I found nothing for the different colored rows.

Please give me some hint how to solve the sorting and the rows with differnt colors.

PS: Alternatively I could imagine using an additional column where a traffic light picture is inserted (red, yellow, green circle). But I have no idea how to do this.
