• Short description:
  • Set SHORTDESCRIPTION = Control attributes of tables and sorting of table columns

Sorting

Click on column heading text to sort by a column. Initial column will be sorted in descending order, click again to get ascending order. The type of data in the cell is determined automatically:

• date if format is:
  • dd MMM YYY - hh:mm
  • dd-MMM-YY or dd-MM-YYYY (can be / or space in place of -)
  • MMM is Jan, Feb, etc
• number is digits, with optional decimal point
• otherwise treated as text

Per table settings

On line before the table use %TABLE{...}%:

All default to the global setting

Examples

Line before table: %TABLE{sort="on" tableborder="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="1" headerbg="#99CCCC" databg="#C8CB8F,#DBDDB5"}%
