Move rows vertically in table

[Sunil Yadav]

As in below screenshots, I want to move entire row vertically upward or downward accordingly.

How can I move row within the table using InDesign Javascript.

Move row after 7th row.

Thanks in Advance

Hi Sunil,

there is no DOM feature like table.row.move() or table.row.duplicate().

So I can only think of:

1. Add a new table row at the positon you want to move your row to.

2. Select and cut the row you want to move with app.select( tableRow ) and app.cut().

3. Select the new added row and paste the contents of the clipboard with app.paste().

If your source row has a fixed height you have to apply that fixed height also to the traget row.

Here some code where I suppose that there is only one story with one table in your document.

Based on your screenshot I selected the appropriate index numbers for the table rows:

// Supposed there is only one story with one table in your document:
var table = app.documents[0].stories[0].tables[0];
var tableRowToMove = table.rows[3];
app.select( tableRowToMove );
app.cut();
var newRow = table.rows.add( LocationOptions.AFTER , table.rows[6] );
app.select( newRow );
app.paste();

Before script execution:

After script execution. Note: Row of cells is selected.

That was first thought in my mind.

But unfortunately InDesign Server doesn't allow select, copy, cut or paste.

That was my bad

That I am writing script for InDesign Server not Desktop version InDesign.

Thanks Again
