MATLAB: How to add a sortable property to uitable within a classic figure.

figure sortableMATLABuitableundocumented

I am running matlab 2018 and 2019. Once a uitable created and populated I have tried some customisation without any success
function JavaCustom(hTable)
jscroll=findjobj(hTable);
jtable=jscroll.getViewport.getView;
%change background color of a given column k to red
k=1;
cr=javax.swing.table.DefaultTableCellRenderer;
%set color
cr.setBackground(java.awt.Color(1,0,0));
jtable.getColumnModel.getColumn(k-1).setCellRenderer(cr);
jtable.repaint;%update
%sorting
%jtable.setSortable=true;==> error
jtable.setSortingEnabled(true);
% jtable.setAutoResort=true;==> error
% jtable.setMultiColumnSortable=true;==> error
% jtable.setPreserveSelectionAfterSorting=true;==> error
jtable.setSortOrderForeground(java.awt.Color.blue);
jtable.setShowSortOrderNumber(true);
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Any idea?

My Java-based uitable utility on the Matlab File Exchange provides a sortable wrapper for the legacy uitable. The sorting functionality is provided by the TableSorter Java class, which is included in the submission.
An alternative is to use coderazzi's TableFilter, which provides both filtering and sorting in a single class.
I discuss uitable sorting in detail on:
