[Plugin: WP-Table Reloaded] Row-sorting function?

  • I’m wondering if it’s possible to implement a row-sorting function while editing a table? I use the plugin for displaying numbered lists and when I add a column somewhere in the table, I manually have to fix all the numbers to get them sorted correctly. Right now, I find it easier to have a copy of the table in excel, edit and sort it there, export it to csv and import it again. Having a sorting function for rows would be great.

    Apart from that, it’s a great plugin! Thanks for all your work.

  • Hi Andreas,

    I don’t yet really understand what you mean.
    Can you explain with a short example maybe?
    Is the sorting functionality on the “Edit” screen not enough for your needs?

    Best wishes,
    Tobias

    Hi Tobias.

    I’ll try to explain it a little better.
    My first row contains numbers to count the columns. When I insert a new row somewhere in the table, the numbers will not be correct. I have to manually edit the rows down the table to get the numbering correct.
    I would like a function to just sort a row I select, and only the row. If I have maybe 100 columns, and insert a column early in the table, I have to edit all the numbers to get the numbering order correctly.

    Hi Andreas,

    I’m still not really sure that I understood everything correctly, but I get an idea.
    I’m afraid what you are looking for is not available in the plugin, sorry ??
    For that specific need, copying to Excel and making that change there is probably the better way.

    Best wishes,
    Tobias

    Tobias: I think I explained wrong, sorry. I mixed up rows and columns. I did some editing in the tables today, and realized I was wrong. What I was after was a column sorting feature. My first column (think I have it right now.. the one with letters on the top?) has numbers in it. A way to just sort one column would be nice. If not, I’ll continue to do it the hard way. At least I have a way to do it ??

    Hi,

    oh, ok, no problem ??

    No, just sorting a single column is not possible. The Sort feature on the “Edit” screen will sort the entire table only.
    I guess you will need to stick with your Excel solution…

    Best wishes,
    Tobias
