Fatal error: Call to a member function getColumn() on a non-object

I hope, this is the right place to ask questions like this:
For three days, Piwik has been showing me in some widgets (“pages per visit”, “visitor countries” and “length of visit”) this error:

Fatal error: Call to a member function getColumn() on a non-object in /home/DOMAIN.TLD/hosts/DOMAIN.TLD/piwik/core/DataTable/Filter/Sort.php on line 120

Line 120 contains this:

$value = $row->getColumn($this->columnToSort);

If I choose in Piwik a timeframe to show, where there is no data to show, also the error doesn’t show. My PHP version is 5.1.6 and after the update to Piwik 0.6.1 some days/weeks ago, this error didn’t show up.
What does that mean and do you have tips to fix it?

Thanks a lot for your help!

Do you have any third party plugins installed that we should know about?

Do your web server logs havea more detailed error message (eg backtrace)?

Thanks for your answer.
The last week was very busy so that I couldn’t answer earlier. I don’t use any third-party-plugins for Piwik and unfortunately, my provider doesn’t log any php-error-messages. I will change that now.
Anyway, with the update to Piwik 0.6.2 this error has gone! Thank you for offering me help!
