RadEditor Is there a tool option to sort a table by alphabetical order in the editor view?

[J]

Is there a tool group available to sort a table in alphabetical order that has been entered into the editor with the insert table feature? If not, is there an easy way to incorporate this?

Hi J N,

The requested functionality can be implemented like a custom tool.

You can apply and improve the solution provided at Creating a Sort Function, e.g.

       <p>
            <button onclick="sortTable();return false;">Sort</button>
        </p>


        <telerik:RadEditor runat="server" ID="RadEditor1">
            <Content>
                <table id="myTable">
                  <tr>
                    <th>Name</th>
