This bug is important because XUL does not retain the row selection when a column is sorted(bug#50220, bug#244398).  So code must be written to do this.

With seltype="single", the easiest method seems to be to look at tree.currentIndex, and use this as an input toward keeping the same row selected.  Unfortunately, when tree.currentIndex is -1, Firefox(but not K-Meleon or SeaMonkey) changes tree.currentIndex to zero before calling tree.view.cycleHeader().

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.see testcase
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
tree.currentIndex = 0

Expected Results:  
tree.currentIndex = -1
