Hi Hussein,

By sorting, I am referring to the ability to reorganize in table according to 
the values contained within it, such as is available in Excel.

Sorting by numerical value, alphabetizing, etc.

The greatest complaint that we still deal with from our users is 
the difficulty in moving content between MS products and the XML tools. MS 
Word, 
Visio, and Powerpoint are all sufficiently obfuscated such that there is no 
solution in sight for them that will make the noisiest users happy. The 
spreadsheet engine in XMLmind is already close to Excel, and engineers do love 
Excel so very, very much.

Jeff.
