Table Bug?

[jonn8]

I’ve got a project with a table view with two columns. The data source for the table view is sorted but what I want to be able to do is to set the contents of 1st displayed data cell of the table regardless of what data source cell happens to be in that position when sorted. I’ve got this code that works when I run the application and run the script from Script Editor but when I use the exact same code verbatim within the Studio app itself, it doesn’t work, it sets the contents of the data cell i of the data source not data cell of the data source that corresponds to the displayed cell of row i. I know this is a bit confusing. Here is the code that works from SE but not from within the app itself, I’ll try to mock up a project with just this bit to make it a little more clear.

tell application “MyApp”
tell window “main”
set file_table to table view 1 of scroll view 1
set file_table_data_source to data source of file_table
tell file_table
repeat with i from 1 to (count of data rows of file_table_data_source)
set selected row to i
set the_data_row to item 1 of (get selected data rows)
set cell_1_contents to (contents of data cell 1 of the_data_row as string)
set contents of data cell 2 of the_data_row to (cell_1_contents & i)
end repeat
end tell
end tell
end tell

So, ultimately, the question is, how do I reference the sorted data cell of the data source for a specific displayed row of the table view regardless of the sort?

Thanks,
Jon
