Hi Yee-Ting,
Take a look at the presidents example
http://simile.mit.edu/exhibit/examples/presidents/presidents-2.html
and click on the Details view. Note that the "name" column actually also
shows photos. If you sort that column, it's sorted by the names, and the
photos just go along with the names. This is done by specifying a row
template in the Tabular view. In the HTML source code, ex:columns
specifies the expressions by which to sort the columns, while the inner
<table> ... </table> part specifies how to render the cells in each row.
