 * Hi
    Can you check why the table sorting is not working on this page. I have activated
   it from the settings. Thanks

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * From what I can see, this is caused by that JS lazyloading that your site is 
   doing. Can you try again after turning that off?
 * Regards,
    Tobias

 * Hi,
 * good to hear that this helped!
 * As your table uses combined cells in the first column, you can’t use the Horizontal
   Scrolling checkbox. Such cells are not supported by the DataTables JS library.
   You will therefore have to uncheck the “Use DataTables” checkbox for this table.
 * To then get horizontal scrolling (implemented in a different technical way), 
   you can use the `scroll` mode of the TablePress Extension from [https://tablepress.org/extensions/responsive-tables/](https://tablepress.org/extensions/responsive-tables/)
