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

Hello!

I have a table that I want to show with two different sorting orders but I don’t want to maintain the data twice.

* Table 1

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

* Table 2

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

Is there a way to do this in org?
Right now I copy the table and apply an =C-c ^ a= on the first column.

Greetings
Axel
