Imagine that instead, you imported data that created hundreds of rows in a table. Even worse, imagine that all your rows were unsorted in the table. Trying to manually sort a table that contained hundreds of rows could take hours. Instead, you can use the Sort Table command to have Dreamweaver automatically sort the table based on a column that you choose. To use this feature, select the newly created company events table and choose the Commands, Sort Table command. The Sort Table dialog appears (see Figure 6.53). Figure 6.53.
