I'm really loading a text file which has columns, which does not display at all correctly with a normal book page:
http://www.reviewsbytdev.com/2007Summary

So I created this table which displays the data perfectly,
http://www.reviewsbytdev.com/tables/7

Except that I had to create column 4 to provide an order for the table. I'm not interested in displaying column 4. Any way for me to fix this?

Thanks

Nope, not in that version of 6.x-dev... Your only option is to put the entries in the table in the same order you want them to come out (so mysql will return them in that order by default). Afraid I'm not willing to add it into the old dev as a new feature - not a lot of point at the moment...

Postponed to next dev release (which will be 6.x-2.x-dev moving to BETA soon after its release).

I cut and pasted the data in the order it was in the original file. However, I *didn't* have an option *not* to sort. Was I missing something?

Thanks

...In the create Table screen? See attached? The csv screen doesn't allow you to select sortable headers (in that version anyway) so I assume you don't mean there?

I see you've changed the status back to active so you must be working on a patch right? I look forward to you posting it here, I'll test it and push it to the current dev version when you're done. Nice. Thanks.

Closing due to weighted and selectable columns being available in new HEAD (not that I've committed it yet)...
