Here is what I would like to do:- 1. I have a multiple column table, one of which has time stamp and another one has an entry in multiple lines, because of better visibility. Therefore the table looks something like this:- |--------+--------| | DATE 1 | line 1 | | | line 2 | | | line 3 | |--------+--------| | Date 2 | line 1 | | | line 2 | | | line 3 | | | line 4 | |--------+--------| 2. I would like to sort the table based on date, but instead of sorting each line is it possible to sort by block (defined by the horizontal lines.)? I must say I did not find time to do an extensive search to find a solution- therefore a pointer to another post or some URL will be very welcome.
