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{...}%:
Argument | Comment |
sort | on or off |
headerbg | header cell background colour |
databg | data cell background colour, a comma seperated list |
All default to the global setting
Examples
Line before table: %TABLE{sort="on" headerbg="#99CCCC" databg="#C8CB8F,#DBDDB5"}%
