Sets the sort descriptors used to sort the rows and delegates the sorting to -tableView:didChangeSortDescriptors or -outlineView:didChangeSortDescriptors: in NSOutlineView. The delegate methods can retrieve the new sort descriptors with -sortDescriptors and override them with -setSortDescriptors: .
The first object in the new sort descriptor array is the sort descriptor prototype returned by the table column whose header was the last clicked. See -[NSTableColumn sortDescriptorPrototype]. This method is called automatically when you click on a table column header, so you shouldn't need to call it usually. Take note the sort descriptors are encoded by the keyed archiving (rarely used since neither IB or Gorm support to set these directly).
