Sort tables rows in alphabets

[shilpa25]

Hi Forum,

I have tried with applescript, by converting tables to text and then sorting alphabetically the paragraphs.

and then again copy and past into the tables rows where i need.

Is there any way to select the table rows and directly sort in alphabetic order.

If possible..

thanks. & regards,

shi..

@shilpa25 – see Peter Kahrel's script "tablesort.jsx" at:

Thanks Laubender,

It is very very superb. The only thing is the script does for the entire tables.

My request is to "do alphabetical order only for the selected rows.

Let me quote Peter Kahrel on that:

Use

To sort the whole table, just place the cursor somewhere in it and start the script. To sort a selection of rows, first select the rows to be sorted, then start the script.
