 * [table id=2 row_order=sort row_order_sort_column=E row_order_sort_direction=DESC/]

 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * Did you install and activate the TablePress Row Order Extension?
 * Can you please post a link to the page with the table where this problem happens,
   so that I can take a direct look? Thanks!
