Allow sorting in Table Properties - how does it sort data?

If you have a list of words, I believe it will alphabetize them, and if you have a list of numbers, it will sort them in ascending or descending order.

Is this what you're asking about?

Please could you let me know if this is only possible on Premium wikis? Also is it only on PBWiki2 or on the original PBWikis.

Thanks,
Nicola.

Hi Nicola - this is available on all wikis. Just go to "insert table" (or right click on an existing table and choose "Table properties"). Just check the "Allow Sorting" checkbox to enable this on your wiki.

Please let us know if this works for you!

I have a premium PBWiki 2 wiki that the sorting works fine on but I also have standard (ie free) wikis in both original PBWiki and PBwiki 2 varieties that I cannot get that option on. The check box simply isn't present on these other wikis and therefore I cannot enable sorting on the wiki I need it for (an original version 1 wiki).

Hi Nicola, this won't work on your 1.0 wikis, but it should work on a 2.0 wiki. Would it work to update your existing 1.0 wikis to PBwiki 2.0?

It's a possibility to do this. My concern is that table sorting is still only working on my premium 2.0 wiki not on my free 2.0 wikis (where I've also been trying it) and there are good reasons why, for the moment at least, I would prefer to be able to keep using the free service for this wiki and was not aware that table sorting was a premium feature.

Hi Nicola,

I have many free 2.0 wikis, and the table sorting option works on all of them. Can you send me (support@pbwiki.com) a screenshot of this not working on one of your 2.0 wikis?

Thanks

Rachel,

Have sent that to you...
