 * Hey Tobias,
 * I am having issues with the java functionality. I experimented with the col span
   and it broken the sorting. I knew this was the case, but now, having removed 
   the colspan, the java has not returned and any new tables I create will not allow
   me to use any Java functionality.
 * I have tried removing the plugin and re installing but the database just returns
   the same forms etc.
 * Any ideas how i can return the java functionality
 * Thanks

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * Most likely, the reason for this is a JavaScript issue or incompatibility with
   some other plugin.
    To find out the cause, I’d need to take a direct look at 
   a broken table. Therefore, please post a link to the page with the table. Thanks!

    Tobias

 * Hey Buddy,
 * Thanks for the quick reply. Good shout! I have deactivated all plugins and have
   discovered that your plugins sort functionality is incompatible with visual-form-
   builder-pro.
 * Just thought I’d let you know for the future.
 * Cheers pal

 * Hi,
 * great find! Good to hear that you found the cause for this! Now, I wouldn’t say
   that this is an imcompatibility though. It’s more likely just a JS conflict for
   some reason, that we should be able to fix.
    However, for that, I need to experience
   the issue directly. So, for that, please re-activate the two plugins again and
   post a link to the page with the table where the error happens.
 * Regards,
    Tobias
