Yes, sorting is something that happens on entire data items ("rows"). This lets
you handle the case where there are multiple cells in a column with the same
value and you want to subsort them based on another column:
California | Los Angeles
California | San Francisco
NewYork | NewYork

That made things much more clear.
The reason things weren't working for me was because I expected the sort
function to receive only the variable mapped to the column (i.e.
"number") and not the entire row. The above worked perfectly for me.
Thanks for the help :)
Take care,
