I have an issue with a program I am working on. To briefly explain, I have a JTable with multiple columns and rows. Particular columns have editable fields when upon changing the value other column values change according to the inputted data. Everything works well however when I've added a filter option to the JTable, changes made to an editable column won't change the values of other columns as intended after applying the filter. I've attached a couple of images to show the problem.
The first image shows the unfiltered table working correctly. Changing a Discount column value will reduce the corresponding price stored in the GPL column by the percent the inputted discount and displayed in the corresponding row in the SP column. Changing a Quantity column value will multiply the corresponding SP column price with the inputted quantity and displayed in the corresponding row in the Total column.
The second image shows the filtered table not working as intended. Changing a value in either Discount or Quantity columns will not change the intended columns.
I've added the SSCCE code below which contains 2 classes. First is the table itself and the second is the listener for the table.
EDIT I've changed the code of the class according to camickr's answer and now fully works.

I understand that when filtering a table the indexes of the table view change and must be synchronized with the indexes of the underlying model. How can that be done in order for the filtered table to work?
You implemented the Action for the TableCellListener incorrectly. You can't use the selected row/colum because those values are in the Table view. The TableCellListener works on the model.
Check out the example Action provided with Table Cell Editor. To get the row/column that was changed you must reference the TableCellListener itself.
Edit:
Here is my simple text example. When you change the "Price", the "Price Change" and "Value" columns are automatically updated.
