 * Hi Alexander,
 * thanks for your question!
 * Can you please explain in more detail (and maybe with a link to the table) what
   you are trying to achieve?
    Setting another sorting is not possible in the Shortcode,
   but it might be possible with a “Custom Command” on the table’s “Edit” screen.
   That however depends on what exactly you are trying to do, so I need more information
   about that.
 * Regards,
    Tobias

 * Hi Tobias,
 * thanks for your reply!
 * Really I would like to have a main table or database into the site with all information
   for some objects. Then I need to show sampled information from the main table
   with different sorting on different pages.
    I can use the parameter “hide_rows”
   in shortcode to make the extract. But I need also to change the sorting.
 * Sincerely,
    Alexander

 * Hi Alexander,
 * thanks for the clarification!
 * This should then be possible with Row Order TablePress Extension from [http://tablepress.org/extensions/table-row-order/](http://tablepress.org/extensions/table-row-order/)
   
   With that you can sort the table on a column before it is shown.
