Thanks for the comments and suggestions Liviu -- the custom inset and
automatic generation of the marker appeals.
I realise this method of sorting tables *is* hackish, but in theory it
is only a stopgap until an inbuilt solution is forthcoming. What I
wanted to show was that when one meets a "gap" in LyX's functionality,
because LyX files are text files, and because modern computers are fast,
it may be possible to write a script invoked by LyX's converter
mechanism to achieve an effect that feels "nearly built-in".
The original enquirer on this topic was having difficulty sorting table
cells containing ERT. I had forgotten the ERT bit. However, version 1.1
of the script, attached, will sort a table even when cells contain ERT,
and also it allows any number of columns, up to the number in the table,
to be used in the sort specification -- it's not limited to three. And
it tidies some of my python code (I'm still a "learner-driver" at this).

# Sort the rows of a table according to values in specified
# columns. Columns are numbered 1, 2, 3, ... from the left.
# Sort type is indicated by a alphabetical(ignore case), A
# alphabetical(distinguish case), or n (numerical) following
# a digit indicating the column. Thus a specification might be
# @@@ 3a,4n,1A (or @@@3a4n1A or @@@3a 4n 1A) for a primary
# alphabetical sort, ignoring case, by the entries in the first

# column, and a tertiary alphabetical sort, distinguishing case,
# by the entries in the first column. The @@@ marker and at least

That is perfectly OK code. The %s do exactly what you say, so there's
nothing unbalanced there (and nothing in that part of the LyX code has
changed recently). The problem is surely elsewhere. I'd suggest you try
bisecting: removing chunks until you get something that works, then
adding stuff back, etc.

Re: Produce PDF/A in Lyx
Several years ago I had to go through the same thing and it was
painful. In the end, after asking around and insisting a bit, they
accepted a normal PDF if the thesis was generated with latex (they
somehow strangely assumed that everyone used MSWord). You might want
to ask in your university about this.
However there are tools out there to do this. The script in the
following link might work
http://www.cs.mcgill.ca/~kwysoc/hacks/#ps2pdfa
...but I haven't tried it.
What will work is to use Acrobat Pro/Distiller (not the free version).
Unfortunately those are *not* free tools.
Good luck.

Lyx misplacing brackets when converting to latex, cannot produce pdf
Hi,
I have this strange problem. A document which was previously working
cannot be compiled anymore because latex complains about "unbalanced
brackets or parentheses in a foot- or endnote". If I manually convert
to .tex and look at the resulting file, I find passages like this:
texttexttext.%
\footnote{Texinfootnote.%
}
First, I dont understand why lyx is putting the percentage signs there,
they are regular footnotes, not comments. Also, I thought they
are supposed to xcomment out the rest of the line, not what is enclosed

this is what produces my error.
My texlive packages are all uptodate (however recently updated), and I
also ran Tools->Reconfigure.
This problem exists for me in the stable version and the one from git.
Any help?

Christian

I copied it from Herbert Voss' tips and tricks page many years ago.
It worked then, but I am not sure what has changed.
Actually…it looks like the /singlespacing command is causing the problem.
Delete that and the centering still works.

But I was to fast. I get an error:
! Undefined control sequence.
\\figure ...at {figure} \centering \singlespacing
l.177 \begin{figure}[H]
The control sequence at the end of the top line
of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have
misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct
spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,
and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.

Now this is a neat idea - haven't thought about that. Saves me quite some work.

Re: Put figures in figure float in center - the best way?
You can add something like this to your preamble
(does not affect how they appear in LyX preview of course)…
\renewenvironment{figure}[1][]{
\@float{figure}
\centering
\singlespacing}
{\end@float}
\renewenvironment{table}[1][]{
\@float{table}
\centering
\singlespacing}
{\end@float}
