I have a table component where I would like the vertical scroll bar to be on the left side of the table instead of the right. It seems like I would be able to do it with something like this (in a button).

```auto
from javax.swing import JScrollPane
from java.awt import ComponentOrientation
table = event.source.parent.getComponent('TableComponent')
table.setVerticalScrollBarPolicy(JScrollPane.setComponentOrientation(ComponentOrientation.RIGHT_TO_LEFT))
```

This gives me the error “TypeError: setComponentOrientation(): expected 2 args; got 1” but I can’t figure out what the second argument should be. Or perhaps I’m going about this the wrong way in general. Does anyone know a bit more about the JTable or JScrollPane that could help? Thank you!

I figured it out!

```auto
from javax.swing import JScrollPane
from java.awt import ComponentOrientation
table = event.source.parent.getComponent('TableComponent')
JScrollPane.setComponentOrientation(table, ComponentOrientation.RIGHT_TO_LEFT)
```
