call method "setHighlightedTableColumn:" of theTable with parameter
theColumn

Where theColumn is the clicked column. For example if you use

on clicked theColumn

end clicked

It's the object that's clicked.

(Or

(call method "tableColumnWithIdentifier:" of theTable with parameter
columnIdentifier)

where columnIdentifier is the identifier of the column as set in Interface
Builder/Attributes (you can make it the same as the AppelScript name if you
wish to keep it simple).

That will highlight the header cell of the column. I haven't tried the arrow
icon yet, but I think you do it by

call method "setIndicatorImage:inTableColumn:" of theTable with
parameters {(call method "imageNamed:" of class "NSImage" with parameter
"NSAscendingSortIndicator"), theColumn)

For the ^ up=arrow and "NSDescendingSortIndicator" for the v down-arrow.
