Use the Sort options in the table context menu to change the order in a table column.
-
Right-click in the column that you want to re-sort to display the Table Context Menu.
-
Select Sort followed by Sort ascending or Sort descending depending on the order you want.
Note
-
If the column contains any cell that starts with an alphabetical character, Paligo will sort the table
alphabetically. -
If every cell in the column starts with a number, Paligo will sort the column
numerically. -
Paligo cannot sort cells that are merged over rows.
While the sort command in the editor will sort the table in your source language, that order may not be suitable for translated content.
For example, if you were to sort a column that only contains numbers, the sort order would work regardless of translations. But if the column contains words, then the alphabetical order could be correct for the source language, but incorrect for the translations. This is because some languages have different orders of the alphabet due to special characters.
To avoid this issue, Paligo will reapply the sort order during the publishing process. It re-sorts any table that has sorting in place, by default. If you prefer, you can disable the automatic re-sorting in the Layout Editor settings.
