Sorting table content

You can sort the order of rows in a table so that the contents of one or more columns appears in numerical and alphabetical order, or you can sort the order of columns in the table so that the contents of one or more rows appears in numerical and alphabetical order. You can apply the sort to an entire table, specific rows, specific columns, or specific cells. For example, if you sort the order of rows in a table and the top row contains column headings, you can apply the sort to all rows in the table except for the top row.

GoLive performs the sort first in numerical order and second in alphabetical order. It considers the case of characters when performing the sort. By default, GoLive performs the sort in ascending order. If desired, you can specify for the sort to be done in descending order.
