How do we sort in a Confluence page?

[Hugh Bathurst]

.. in both blank page and in tables.

Hi Hugh,

Tables can be sortet by the headers, by clicking on them. 

I dont know really what you mean by "sorting in a blank page". What do you want to sort?

regards

[Hugh Bathurst]

I like to have all content created sorted alphabetically by default (or via a quick manual step) - be it in a table or not in a table (e.g. on a native confluence page). E.g. Enter a list ZZZ AAA BBB on separate lines then click Sort (which I can't see in Confluence OnDemand) and whalla ... 3 lines of text sorted (Ideally same, or similar in a table). PS. I'm aware Confluence can sort by clicking the header of a table (which is most handy but doesn't stay sorted if you leave then return to the page) BUT from my tests I can't do same / similar when in edit mode on the table so it stays sorted.

Your issue is marked as won't fix:

My workaround suggestion to you is to:

1. Create your Table
2. Preview your page

3. Sort your table

6. Select all cells in the table

Your table is now sorted.
