Hi,
thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
If you have installed and activated the Extension, this should only need an extended Shortcode like
[table id=123 row_order=sort row_order_sort_column=A row_order_sort_direction=DESC /]
Regards,

Thank you, Tobias, for the information. However, when I entered the shotcode shown above it did not sort alphabetically.
The names were entered in this order:
Jones Smith Brown Peterson Whitney
When I entered the shortcode into the page they were sorted as follows:
Jones Whitney Smith Peterson Brown
They were sorted, but not alphabetically. Thank you.
HI,
Can you please post a link to the page with the table where this problem happens, so that I can take a direct look? Thanks!

Tobias
It is just a sample page with the five names. The link is

Thank you.
Hi,
thanks a lot! From what I see, the sorting is correct, the problem simply is that you have enabled the “Table Head Row” checkbox, so that the table header row is not moved when the table is sorted.
Just uncheck the “Table Head Row” checkbox or simply add a new first row with content like “Last Name” and “First Name”, which then stays at the top.

Tobias
Thank you very much. That worked. An easy fix – once you know where the problem lies!
Hi,
no problem, you are very welcome! 🙂 Good to hear that this helped!
Best wishes,
Tobias
