Is it possible to reorder simple table columns?

When working with a simple/text table inside a page or rich text field, is it possible reorder columns and rows?

I presume you are referring to markdown/text version of tables. Afaik not. As markdown generally (not only fibery’s version) is not at all meant for left/right, top-down reorder or usual word-processor habits.

However Fibery would enable you with some interesting workarounds if that’s a recurring focus or requirement you have. You could create your own placeholder table db and corresponding/desired table “view” or other kinds of views to embed one of the most fully fledged, or even simple workaround tables to include in documents. Not sure how they behave when it comes to “portability” and “full-document” copypaste for backups, versions or migrations. That might be a downside, but you’d have to test that if need be.

This also works in entity descriptions.

The embedded view in markdown actually pops up when you start typing “/table…” for text command as well. Maybe that’s an option. Or you know about this already.

If you need or want a short example, screens. Let me know :slight_smile:

if it has to be txt/markdown form of tables, maybe from other sources, pasted format etc explicitly. and if its not extremely large tables/columns/rows the fastest workaround I have just verified is possibly this:

  • Triple-Click next to your original table. (selects that table entirely)
  • Paste a tmp/copy of that table
  • Click, Hold and Drag over cells/columns… will select those.

Basically creating a quick table-copy. to then reorder by pasting orig. column contents to destination/copy-table… while remaining in it’s txt/markdown table content and format.
