Tables
Below are some helpful tips for working with IHTA tables:
Adjust Column Width. You can adjust the width of a column by hovering your cursor over the column header's left or right borders (see red oval in image below); a double arrow will appear. Click once and drag the border either left or right.
Sort Columns. To sort a column by a particular column header, click once in the column header. A black triangle will appear indicating an ascending sort (see red oval in image below). Click the column header again, an upside down triangle will appear indicating a descending sort.
