Macromedia Contribute 3 Tutorial
Sorting Tables
Contribute also provides a quick and easy way to organize information in your tables. You can use this to quickly alphebetize words in a column, for example.
To use this, choose "sort table" from the Table menu.
This will open a window where you can specify how you want Contribute to sort your table.
You can choose which column you would like to sort, and whether you would like to sort alphabetically or numerically. The "then by" fields specify how contribute will sort if it finds no difference in two cells of the first column. For example, if there were another "C" row in the left column above, it would then sort by these criteria.
By default, Contribute will not sort the first row, header or footer rows in a table. To sort these, click in their respective checkboxes. Also, check "Keep row colors with content" if you want the color of each row to stay the same when it moves.
The above settings would sort the table like this.
Notice that the entire C row moved down to the bottom, not just the individual cell.
