You have a great table in your page, and you want to sort by the column headers.  But it just does not work.

My Beautiful Table     
RowColorSizeTest
1RedRed30Yes
2 Yellow 20 No 
3 Blue 10 Maybe 
4 Orange 40 WhoKnows 

Answer:

  1. If you are in edit mode, the table will NOT sort.
  2. Tables that have multiple header rows will not sort. 

Your only option is to create the table with a single header row:

RowColorSizeTest
1Red30Yes
2Yellow20No
3Blue10Maybe
4 Orange 40 WhoKnows 

 OK - I did that, where is the Sort button?

The sort buttons appear to the right of each cell in the header row when you dwell over it. 

NOTE: If you are in edit mode, the table will NOT sort.
