 * Hi,
 * I have some difficult using “order” function of tablepress plugin.
 * I have a table with rows like this
 * String | first_number | second_number | third_Number | = First * second * third
 *  I would like ti order the table basing on the last column, I tried putting “
   order”: [[ 4, ‘desc’ ]] in custom command section but, After saving, when i click
   on “preview” button the sort is not correct (it seems that it don’t take the 
   order command).
 * Can someone help me? (Note: the columns *_number are hided)
 * Thank you!

 * Hi,
