Re: [O] How to sort table in blocks.
Hi Suvayu (Subayu?), Thanks for your answer- I wanted to know that if there is a way to go about it in orgmode. Ultimately took your advice and used the N in the column. best. In all bongness.

[O] How to sort table in blocks.
Sorry for the confusing title. Here is what I would like to do:- 1. I have a multiple column table, one of which has time stamp and another one has an entry in multiple lines, because of better visibility. Therefore the table looks something like this:- |+| | DATE 1 | line 1 | || line 2 | || line 3 | |+| | Date 2 | line 1 | || line 2 | || line 3 | || line 4 | |+| 2. I would like to sort the table based on date, but instead of sorting each line is it possible to sort by block (defined by the horizontal lines.)? I must say I did not find time to do an extensive search to find a solution- therefore a pointer to another post or some URL will be very welcome. Thanks Deb
