I have found one solution. I select and copy the table HTML from Flare, paste it into Dreamweaver, sort it using Dreamweaver, and then copy and paste it back into Flare. The only thing that seems to be lost when I get the table back in Flare is the table style, which I easily reapply.
If anyone has a better idea or suggested improvements to this process, that would be great.

Subject: Sorting table columns in Flare - Help?
Does anyone know of a way to sort tables in Flare or a workaround for taking tables out of Flare, sorting them, and then putting them back in?
I have inherited a guide with 24 long tables in which the content is not sorted, and I need to sort the content of each table alphabetically. As far as I can tell, Flare doesn't sort on table content, so I have been doing the sorting manually.
Thanks.
Leonard
