You don't need to.

With a QTableView you need to disconnect the horizontalHeader's
signal "sectionPressed" from the selectColumn slot of the view and
reconnect the signal to sortByColumn. In C++ this looks like this:

  disconnect(horizontalHeader(), SIGNAL(sectionPressed(int)), this, SLOT(selectColumn(int)));
  connect(horizontalHeader(), SIGNAL(sectionPressed(int)), this, SLOT(sortByColumn(int)));
  horizontalHeader()->setSortIndicatorShown(true);

You better take QSortFilterProxyModel, together with the above you do
something like:

create your model
create proxy
set source model of proxy
create view
set view's model to proxy
enable sorting as above.

PyQt4 comes with a whole bunch of examples for the itemview's. And also
the Qt4 documentation has a separate section on the views, explaining
all the concepts and how everything works together.
