Is it possible to make the columns in a custom screen (custom ticket history for example) sortable by clicking on the column heading, like the columns in the packaged Tessitura screens?

Yes.
In the Infomaker properties for the header object, change the Name: field of the object to
cb_#
where # is the column number in the retrieval order (not the display order) of the dataset for the report. That is, if you have a column in your dataset for perf_code, which is column 4 in your dataset, then the Name: property for the header should be cb_4.
This is from the Custom Tab documentation:
· If you want the columns to be sorted when you click on column headers like other columns in Tessitura, then place text objects either in the Header band or in the Detail band for each sortable column and name them CB_col#. For instance the name of the Text Object in the Header band for the 3rd column should be cb_3.
