My apologies, I have figured out that I need to listen to the QHeaderView's \
sectionClicked(int) signal.

But I am still stuck. How do I override the function that normally does the sorting? \
I tried subclassing from QTableWidget and reimplementing sortByColumn(), but my \
function never gets called:

class MyQTableWidget(QTableWidget):

   def sortByColumn(self, col, order): 
       print 'called!'


What am I doing wrong to implement my own sortByColumn?

Many thanks for any advice

lara
