Right now the following regexp is used to test if it's a number: \\d*
For conversion QString::toInt() is used, see:
http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/qstring.html#toInt

Which regexp do you propose? Please keep in mind, that the regexp needs to be 
executed each time the user wants to sort the columns for all rows of the 
table. We should keep the regexp simple as it's critical to performance.

You can add the rows in the order you want the Table widget to show the items 
and switch on keepSorting. See:
