ziemerd Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 One of my coworkers has a drawing with a table in it and he wants to sort a column numerically just like Excel. All I could find was information on how to sort extracted data but I don't think that's what I'm looking for. Thanks for the help.

lpseifert Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Try exporting the table to a .csv file (Rt-clk the table > Export), you can manipulate the data in Excel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ziemerd Posted June 15, 2010 Author Share Posted June 15, 2010 Is there a way of doing a sort inside the table? It seems like extra steps to export, manipulate, then bring back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGAL Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 Unfortunately I haven't used tables much other than auto generated ones from Civ 3D which are sorted. We manualy create a "table" as a List using block entries which are manipulated by other Vba progs. Have you checked the HELP (no cad at moment) I would have thought a sort would be part of the table function. Any way a table is a bit like an excell so it should be possible to sort the entry order manually, in a nutshell you compare two adajcent lines and keep swapping them if one is bigger than other. So you would create a list of the table lines and then sort that list swapping entire line entries based on a column value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ziemerd Posted June 23, 2010 Author Share Posted June 23, 2010 Thanks BIGAL. I have found that I have to export the data to an csv then manipulate the data the way I want it and then import it back in as a table. It's a lot of extra work because the cells are not programmed like the old table so it needs to be changed but it gets the job done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
