My application displays document data in tables that can be sorted by
column like iTunes or the Finder list view. I want to save the
sorting columns and sorting directions of the tables when the
document is closed and saved. What is the best way to save this
information? At present, I am thinking of using the program's .plist
file, with one entry (a dictionary) for each document the user saves.
The plist key would be the document's file path. The total number of
documents is not likely to be large. The only other alternative I can
think of is to save the information in the document itself, but the
sorting information really has nothing to do with the actual data in
the file and it would mean changing another program that reads the
data file to ignore it.
Thanks for any suggestions or insights,
Don
