I'm using emacs-orgmode and so far I haven't found and working examples of the calc-sort function on the internet. I tried both vmode(calc-sort(@I..@II)) and vmode(sort(@I..@II)) wanting to nest the sort operation inside the vmode operation and both attempts just returned 0.00 for all four vmode fields. Does a better way to attack this part of my #+TBLFMT: line anyone can share? I already have seven other lines of statistics working in an org-mode table I've been maintaining and this statistic would be a useful one to have if I can get it going. --
