• You would have to sort the JavaScript array at runtime - one method would be to use JavaScript sort.

• Thanks, I can make that work with a simple example like the one above but can't find the correct syntax when using the createTableViewRow. How do I refer to items within a row object?

• Never mind, I've got it now. I'll post some code shortly to help others.

• did you find the answer to this, I'm currently trying 'sort' but with no luck, says it's not a function of an array.

• Hi Mark,

  Yes, I used the following code:

  
  data.sort(sortName);
  
  function sortName(thisObject,thatObject) {    
      if (thisObject.diff > thatObject.diff)
      {
          return 1;
      }
      else if (thisObject.diff < thatObject.diff)
      {
          return -1;
      }
      return 0;
    }
  

  "diff" is a property that I added to each row of the table, you can change that to refer to whichever property you wish to sort by.
