Adam,
this is a waste of time. DATA IS NOT COMPLETELY ON THE CLIENT, as I
stated earlier. The grid doesn't have a chance to sort unless all data
is loaded, but it's just the special feature that data is *not* loaded
completely!

Other libraries don't implement this either. You'd have another problem:
Which key code is going to be "Select all"? Is it the one that seems to
be used more or less widely on the platform, Apple-A/Ctrl-A/Alt-A, or
the one that many editors use, including the embedded Scintilla which
implements a complete set of keyboard shortcuts? I doubt that the wx
people would accept any of both solutions.
Regards,
Andreas
