I think what you're looking for is custom sort methods. In the Simple table
mode (qx.ui.table.model.Simple), the method setSortMethods is available:
/**
* Specify the methods to use for ascending and descending sorts of a
* particular column.
*
* @param columnIndex {Integer}
* The index of the column for which the sort methods are being
* provided.
*
* @param compare {Function|Map}
* If provided as a Function, this is the comparator function to sort
in
* ascending order. It takes two parameters: the two arrays of row
data,
* row1 and row2, being compared. It may determine which column of the
* row data to sort on by accessing arguments.callee.columnIndex. The
* comparator function must return 1, 0 or -1, when the column in row1
* is greater than, equal to, or less than, respectively, the column
in
* row2.
*
* If this parameter is a Map, it shall have two properties:
"ascending"
* and "descending". The property value of each is a comparator
* function, as described above.
*
* If only the "ascending" function is provided (i.e. this parameter
is
* a Function, not a Map), then the "descending" function is built
* dynamically by passing the two parameters to the "ascending"
function
* in reversed order. <i>Use of a dynamically-built "descending"
function
* generates at least one extra function call for each row in the
table,
* and possibly many more. If the table is expected to have more than
* about 1000 rows, you will likely want to provide a map with a
custom
* "descending" sort function as well as the "ascending" one.</i>
