Table sort arrow position

[DevCharly]

Yes, that should be not that difficult to implement and is a nice improvement 👍

This is now implemented in master branch.

To enable it use:

UIManager.put( "TableHeader.sortIconPosition", "top" );

"bottom" and "left" are also supported:

@DevCharly Thanks for the fix, it is almost perfect! 🙂 When the arrow is at the top, I feel it is too close to the text. I think it would look better if it were 1 pixel up.
See this comparison "now vs 1px up":

I am not concerned by right-to-left support. Still, I am curious: how does the table behave in RTL mode, and what does "left"/"right" sort position mean in that case? Should you also support "leading" and "trailing" positions then?

[DevCharly]

Thanks for your feedback. I've optimized the position of the top arrow.
Also fixed the position of the chevron style arrow, which was not at the same position as the triangle arrow.

Regarding RTL: this is indeed not supported. I've tested all system LaFs (on Windows and macOS) and some popular open-source LaFs, but all of them ignore RTL for the sort arrow position. So right now, I think I leave it as it is...

Hi @DevCharly, I tried the chevron top position earlier today and it is much better. Thanks again for your work!
