Sorted table

Hello guys,

I would like to know if there is some kind of way to sort a table by name by cliking on a header column, so rows would be sorted by name according to this column.

No, not with Asciidoctor.

You might be able to use Asciidoctor to generate HTML and create links in your table header. Then use a JavaScript framework like jQuery DataTables to enable the column sorting.

Take a look at using the docinfo.html file when generating HTML http://asciidoctor.org/docs/user-manual/#docinfo-file That's a way you could add JavaScript.

That's exactly what Neo did in GraphGist. For an example, see:

https://neo4j.com/graphgist/9d627127-003b-411a-b3ce-f8d3970c2afa#_entity_link_analysis

The cells in the header row of the table are clickable.

I wouldn't say that this isn't supported in Asciidoctor. I would say that it is a UI feature that requires the correct JavaScript in the page. We've certainly considered adding an option to include this JavaScript by default...but such an interactive feature does rely on support from JavaScript.
