One thing I use org tables for is to represent a series of accounting
transactions, with each group of rows representing a set of entries for the
transaction.
Like this:
|-----+---+------------------+---------------+-----------+-----------+---+---+----------------|
| Id | X | Date | Charge | Dr | Cr | C | R | Description |
|-----+---+------------------+---------------+-----------+-----------+---+---+----------------|
| 206 | | [2010-12-05 Sun] | l:chase visa | | 1,648.62 | x | x | Opening Equity |
| 207 | | [2010-12-05 Sun] | q:eq | 1,648.62 | | | | Opening Equity |
|-----+---+------------------+---------------+-----------+-----------+---+---+----------------|
| 208 | | [2010-12-20 Mon] | l:comm:visa | | 3,859.39 | x | x | Opening Equity |
| 209 | | [2010-12-20 Mon] | q:eq | 3,859.39 | | | | Opening Equity |
|-----+---+------------------+---------------+-----------+-----------+---+---+----------------|
| 211 | | [2010-12-27 Mon] | q:eq | 43,447.85 | | | | Opening Equity |
| 210 | | [2010-12-27 Mon] | l:charter one | | 43,447.85 | x | x | Opening Equity |
|-----+---+------------------+---------------+-----------+-----------+---+---+----------------|
It is sometimes handy to move transactions around, but they have to be moved
as a group. It would be nice if org had the ability to do this in a manner as
convenient as moving around individual rows. Perhaps, C-M-<up>, C-M-<down>
could be bound to such a function.
A Bonus feature might be to provide a way to sort groups in a manner similar
to rows, using say, the first row in each group for the sort criteria, but
moving whole groups as a unit. So I could sort the transactions by date,
description, etc.
