RH2022 - How to sort alphabetically in a table?

The complexity of the functionality honestly depends on how complex you want the sorting to be.

If all you want is to sort rows according to the value of the first <td> in each <tr>, that should be trivial. If you want to take into account merged cells (and tables within tables), however, I can see why they'd rather not do it.

If it's the first case, you could scrape something together with chatGPT. For something fancier, let's say you build a simple program (with UI) that enables you to:

1. select a topic and a specific table
2. sort it

If any merged cells (=rowspan or colspan attributes were found) are detected, the sort should be refused.

Example whipped up with pyqt6:

Topic

Program

I believe I was told this is more difficult than it might seem.
