Sorting table rows and columns

Tables can be sorted by row or column values using:

• The Sort options in the Table menu.

• The Sort options in the Table contextual menu.

• The Sort options in the Table toolbar menu button.

For example:

Sort rows based on the selected column	Advanced Sort Dialog

The plugin is capable of sorting:

• Numerical data

• Text data

Note	Currently, the sort function will treat cells with Alphanumeric data as Text data. This includes currency symbols which are text characters.

Adding row numbering to a table

A row numbering column containing a series of values can be added to a table to help identify rows in a table. To allow row numbering on tables, the advtablerownumbering toolbar button and menu item can be used.

A numeric and alpha value series are available by default. The available value series can be configured using the advtable_value_series option.

A commonly desired customization of the row-numbering column is that a table’s header and footer rows not be included in the numbering.

This can be done using the advtable_value_series option to specify a custom generator.
