Sorting WordPress tables can be a daunting task, but it is an essential component of managing any website, especially if it includes a lot of data. It may seem simple, but WordPress does not natively allow users to sort tables. This limitation can cause frustration and inefficiencies when trying to organise and analyse data.
Fortunately, with the Data Table block from The Plus Blocks for Gutenberg you can easily sort data (alphabet or number) in ascending or descending order of a WordPress table.
