## multivalent.std
Class TableSort

    java.lang.Object
      multivalent.VObject
          multivalent.Behavior
              multivalent.std.TableSort

public class TableSort
extends Behavior

Sort structural table at given column, heuristically determining data type. Assume HTML/CALS-style table (row major; TABLE tag with THEAD, TBODYs, and TFOOT as children, and TRs as their children). Relies on HTML parser normalizing table by filling in cells not explicit in rowspan or colspan, though painting and formatting will still be weird if these are around. Unlike most behaviors, which work on all document types, TableSort works only on flowed documents.

To do: generalize to range of lines, as tables aren't used for tabular information much, as least in HTML.

Field Detail

### MSG_SORT

    public static final java.lang.String MSG_SORT

  Sort table in ascending order, or reverse order if already sorted in ascending order.

  `"tableSort"`: `arg=` `Node` column-to-sort

  See Also:
    Constant Field Values

### MSG_ASCENDING

    public static final java.lang.String MSG_ASCENDING

  Sort table in ascending order.

  `"tableSortAscending"`: `arg=` `Node` column-to-sort

  See Also:
    Constant Field Values

### MSG_DESCENDING

    public static final java.lang.String MSG_DESCENDING

  Sort table in descending order.

  `"tableSortDescending"`: `arg=` `Node` column-to-sort

  See Also:
    Constant Field Values

Constructor Detail

### TableSort

    public TableSort()

Method Detail

### semanticEventBefore

    public boolean semanticEventBefore(SemanticEvent se,
                                       java.lang.String msg)

  Since not all man page references are recognizable as such, have docpopup choice to treat current word as man page ref.

  Overrides:
    `semanticEventBefore` in class `Behavior`

### semanticEventAfter

    public boolean semanticEventAfter(SemanticEvent se,
                                      java.lang.String msg)

  Description copied from class: `Behavior`
  Round robin distribution to all behaviors. Message and clientData unpacked from SemanticEvent for convenience. Message is interned, so if you compare to a literal, you can use "==". Message can't be changed (it can be short-circuited out of), but client data can be mutated as it is passed along (so it's not passed as a parameter).

  Overrides:
    `semanticEventAfter` in class `Behavior`

### sortTable

    public void sortTable(java.lang.Object colin,
                          int direction)

  Parameters:
    `colin` - some node within column to sort
    `direction:` - -1=descending order, 1=ascending order, 0=ascending but descending if already in ascending.
