How can I order alphabetically the content of a table?

Post by Duraeuropos »

Dear mellel users,

anybody can tell me if there is a function in the mellel to order automatically the content of a table, for exemple, in my case: words in alfabetical order?
I am making a register of words in many languages (also semitic languages) and use for that the tables, but since I am introducing the words when I found them in my text I need them to be ordered automatically by the program, like it works in the Word.

I would really apreciate your help,
best wishes,
Amor

You may turn to a useful freeware application from Devon Technologies called "Word Services" . Among others things, it contains a small Sort Ascending/Descending utiility wich works nicely with Mellel and could solve part of your request (i.e. sorting words written in Latin scripts; for the other I don't know but suspect you´d need a bit of editing). Once you have installed WS, it will be accesible from almost any MacOS X application.

For more info, check the long Word services discusion in this Forum.
