UPOINT:: CGI Scripts:: @1 Data Sorting Tool
.
Limitation:
  • If the cell contains non-numerical or period signs, it will be treated as a string and sorted like one. For example: "$123.00", "US150.50"  and "6.5%". As such, to sort values correctly, please do not include non-numerical characters.

Installation:

  • Make sure the first line of the script is pointing to the correct location of Perl 5.
  • Follow the simple instruction in the script to set the paths to the data file and the template.
  • Upload the script and chmod to 755.
  • See configuration part of the script here.

Question: I included links in the cell contents. Now the table is sorted wrongly as it start sorting using the URLs.

Answer: Place a comment in front of the URL. For example:
               <!--masters--><a href="url.htm">masters</a>
