 * I’m wondering if it’s possible to implement a row-sorting function while editing
   a table? I use the plugin for displaying numbered lists and when I add a column
   somewhere in the table, I manually have to fix all the numbers to get them sorted
   correctly. Right now, I find it easier to have a copy of the table in excel, 
   edit and sort it there, export it to csv and import it again. Having a sorting
   function for rows would be great.
 * Apart from that, it’s a great plugin! Thanks for all your work.

 * Hi Andreas,
 * I don’t yet really understand what you mean.
    Can you explain with a short example
   maybe? Is the sorting functionality on the “Edit” screen not enough for your 
   needs?
 * Best wishes,
    Tobias

 * Hi Tobias.
 * I’ll try to explain it a little better.
    My first row contains numbers to count
   the columns. When I insert a new row somewhere in the table, the numbers will
   not be correct. I have to manually edit the rows down the table to get the numbering
   correct. I would like a function to just sort a row I select, and only the row.
   If I have maybe 100 columns, and insert a column early in the table, I have to
   edit all the numbers to get the numbering order correctly.

 * Hi Andreas,
 * I’m still not really sure that I understood everything correctly, but I get an
   idea.
    I’m afraid what you are looking for is not available in the plugin, sorry
   🙁 For that specific need, copying to Excel and making that change there is probably
   the better way.
 * Best wishes,

 * Tobias: I think I explained wrong, sorry. I mixed up rows and columns. I did 
   some editing in the tables today, and realized I was wrong. What I was after 
   was a column sorting feature. My first column (think I have it right now.. the
   one with letters on the top?) has numbers in it. A way to just sort one column
   would be nice. If not, I’ll continue to do it the hard way. At least I have a
   way to do it 🙂

 * Hi,
 * oh, ok, no problem 🙂
 * No, just sorting a single column is not possible. The Sort feature on the “Edit”
   screen will sort the entire table only.
    I guess you will need to stick with 
   your Excel solution…
 * Best wishes,
    Tobias
