 * My site is seasonal so have not used it over the winter – however last year when
   creating or updating a table I could sort the tables on Score before saving so
   that users saw the data in ranking order. I can’t seem to do that on TablePress
   2.0.4. Has this feature been removed from the Free version?

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * Do you mean on the “Edit” screen? No, this feature is still there. Just double-
   click on the column header for that column to sort it 🙂
 * Regards,
   Tobias

 * Great thanks. I must have forgotten how it worked over the Winter! Though it 
   might be a Mac think that the up/down arrow does not show till you double click–
   it might be my (fading!) memory but I was sure they were always visible last 
   season!
 * Thanks anyway for the quick response.

 * Hi Dave,
 * good to hear that this helped!
 * Your memory is correct 🙂 This worked differently before the winter, and the 
   icons were always showing back then. With the new editing interface that TablePress
   2.0 has, this has indeed changed.
 * Best wishes,
   Tobias
