To my understanding this is indeed what pLyX is doing: it calls a
Python script (which is already tailored to sorting tables) on the LyX
file, takes the desired table and processes it through the script,
then outputs the table within the same LyX file; all from within the
LyX GUI. It's a pretty neat approach.
