Conditional Format Header when Sorted by Field

[Dr. Evil]

Anyone know how I could use conditional formatting to format a column header when sorted by it's particular field?

screen shot attached to illustrate what I'm trying to make happen.

 

THANKS!!!

Yes. In your sort script, set a global variable to contain the names of the field(s) you are sorting, then check that global variable in the conditional formatting calculations for the column labels. You can also create icons that indicate the direction of the sort by having two separate icons (button objects with an image background added) that conditionally format to be transparent when their field is not sorted in a particular direction. The Virtual Sort module includes examples of doing both.
