I wanted to be able to copy to the clipboard a table created by joining several columns and specific rows.
I used a template and a joined list to create a table that can be copied through a button to the clipboard. It is formatted so that I can then just paste it into a spreadsheet.
Works like a charm, the only issue is that I’d like to sort the table by the first column before copying it to the clipboard.
Any idea how to do that ?
I needed to do this to be able to sort HTML tables. I couldn’t find a way with standard computed columns, so I wrote my own plugin to do it. You’re welcome to use it or clone it.
Actually, because it was primarily written to work with HTML tables, it will need a minor tweak to work for your use case. If you examine the source, in function.js you’ll see the following line (31):
var joined = sorted.join('');
You would just need to tweak that line so that it inserts a delimiter.
