You could do something like this:


* Table 1

#+name: table1
| Manufacturer    | Name        | Price |
|-----------------+-------------+-------|
| ACME            | super cheep | 25 $  |
| Roadrunner Inc. | Kaboom      | 27 $  |
| ACME            | cheep       | 30 $  |

#+RESULTS: resorted
| Manufacturer    | Name        | Price |
|-----------------+-------------+-------|
| ACME            | super cheep | 25 $  |
| ACME            | cheep       | 30 $  |
| Roadrunner Inc. | Kaboom      | 27 $  |

** Code for resorting

#+name: resorted
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :var data=table1 :colnames t
(sort data (lambda (row1 row2) (string< (first row1) (first row2))))
#+END_SRC
