I have tackled this problem by using the NSTableView delegate method tableViewSelectionDidChange:

In this method I query the table for selected rows and then compare with the index set from the previous call to tableViewSelectionDidChange: I simply store the incremental changes in sequence.


Like Kyle I'm curious about the rationale for this. Since there's no indication of how time played its part in coming up with the selection, doesn't this lead to strange behaviour for the user? What if I made a selection, got interrupted and only got back to work several hours later? How would what happened next make sense given that I'd almost certainly forgotten the selection sequence and had no feedback to remind me? Or does the selection get reflected in a second list that shows the sequence? That would make more sense but a pure selection with a hidden time element seems like a problematic UI to me.
