Hi,
thanks for your suggestions!
1.) This will probably confuse a lot of people as they might not have a header row in the files they want to import. One suggestion is to temporarily prepend something like “aaaa” to the designated header row, so that it will stay the first row when sorted. Maybe something like “Move to top” might be an option that I will consider for a next release.
2.) Sounds like a good proposal!
3.) I’m not sure about this. It would be a lot of work to implement this. But the advantages are minor, as most users don’t need to import many tables at the same time.
4.) I will try to do this somehow. This will probably combined with the possibility to change the ID of a table.
Regards,
Tobias
Hi thanks for listening
for 1) Why not put an option for people to “Make first row table header” when they import CSVs?
Thanks again 🙂
Hi,
well actually all imported files (as any new tables) get the “Use Table Headline (The first row of your table will use the [th] tag.)” setting automatically.
(This has only an effect on the frontend output of a table, though.)
But that’s the reason why I can’t introduce another option regarding headings on the import screen. It would just confuse people, but I would like to keep the backend clean and simple.
My suggestion right now: If you need imported data to be sorted in some way, sort it in the program that exported it. If that’s not possible, open it in Excel or OpenOffice and sort and reexport it there.
Sorry, that I don’t have better proposal right now.
Thanks for your understanding!

I understand where you are coming from and I definitely can do the manual sorting before uploading while the option is not available.
However, the “Use Table Headline (The first row of your table will use the [th] tag.)” was just as confusing because I thought it’d fix my first row in the CSV as a header and not have it affected in anyway if I were to sort my things using wp-table-reloaded. But thanks anyway for the plugin, it’s the best I’ve used so far for my needs and CSV import is just absolutely wonderful because I have a lot of data for my tables 😀
Hi
Have thought of another good feature to have. How about something to highlight the column or row the user chooses? Let’s say you have a data of about 30 lines, but you would like to highlight a few items out of the 30 items so that these few catches the attention of the visitors.
Hmm… is this do-able on CSS right now on this version?
🙂 thanks
Hi,
you can in fact to that with CSS.
You wrap the content of the cells you want to highlight in
<span class="highlight">my content</span>
and add a new CSS command like
.highlight {
color:red; font-weight:bold;
}
to the CSS.

Hi,
you also use the .row-X and .column-X CSS selectors like in this post: http://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/topic/276358?replies=3
I’d prefer the above way though as its easier to maintain.
