Re: Sorting table columns (*not* content)

[Jeff Horn <jrhorn424@gmail.com>]

From the manual: [1]
,----
| C-c C-x M-w
| Copy a rectangular region from a table to a special clipboard. Point
and mark determine edge fields of the rectangle. If there is no active
region, copy just the current field. The process ignores horizontal
separator lines.
| C-c C-x C-w
| Copy a rectangular region from a table to a special clipboard, and
blank all fields in the rectangle. So this is the “cut” operation.
| C-c C-x C-y
| Paste a rectangular region into a table. The upper left corner ends
up in the current field. All involved fields will be overwritten. If
the rectangle does not fit into the present table, the table is
enlarged as needed. The process ignores horizontal separator lines.

Hope this helps,
