I used Philip Milne's TableSorter class. The code posted for this seems to
have been updated since I used it, but I think the principle is the same:
the TableSorter sits in between the Table and its Data Model. I manage to
customise the previous version to sort differently, and to respond
differently to mouse clicks (by extending its listMouseAdapter class). There
are lots of other useful JTable examples at the same site:-

Subject: Re: Clickable headers for JTable?
The way I did it was to put a mouse listener on the table header, get the
Point from that, and use JTableHeader.columnAtPoint(Point) and
JTableHeader.getHeaderRect(TableColumn).
I have a pressedColumn field which is used by the renderer to
programmatically press or release a JButton within itself.
I have successfully implemented both sorting and filtering of data. I have a
clickable table header for sorting, and a button within the header which
(when pressed) reveals a popup menu used to select the data to filter on.
