How to run function on sort within tabulated-list-mode?

How to run function on sort within tabulated-list-mode?

[Jean Louis]

I am heavy user of tabulated-list-mode and have a derived mode. In the
derived mode I make sure that some words are highlighted like "ACTION"
or "COMPLETED".

The tabulated-list-mode has several columns. When I click on a column
to sort the list by the column the highlighting disappears.

Does the hook run after sorting? I have tried adding function to my
hyperscope-list-mode-hook but I don't see it works on sort.

Should it work? Is it expected to run the hook on the sorting of
tabulated-list-mode? 

Is there any other way to invoke a function upon sort?

New `defun' that calls `sort' as well as the extra stuff ...

  https://dataswamp.org/~incal/emacs-init/sort-incal.el

Or `advice-add' ...

(defun help-mode-finish-after ()
  (forward-button 1) )
(advice-add #'help-mode-finish :after #'help-mode-finish-after)

I have tried advice and is not working, so I have filed a bug.

I don't know; I suspect not.

I assume the expected way to achieve highlighting words
would be to fill tabulated-list-entries with a propertized
string à la:

| (propertize "ACTION" 'face 'highlight)

That would  be too  much of  a work.  I think  highlight-regexp should
work, but we will see.
