Sortable Tables
The Wiki platform also allows the useful feature of sortable tables. In order to create a sortable table follow two steps: Firstly, create a table as mentioned above in the general instructions.Secondly, replace the entire top row using the Wikitext editing mode with the following command:
[ {| class="wikitable sortable FCK__ShowTableBorders" ] (Without the square brackets)
This will result in buttons next to the headings in the top row that sort the entire table alphabetically from A-Z (if pressed once) and from Z-A (if pressed twice).
