Sorted with Dataview

[menagerie198]

Hi, hope this is the right place for this, delete otherwise: Should Sorted work with tables created via Dataview? They are not actually tables in the markdown file, so maybe not. If this is not a bug, could it be made into a feature?

Hello,

Sortable works with dataview tables because it just sorts the HTML row elements (tr) of a table's body, disregarding the class that dataview adds to its tables:

<table class="dataview table-view-table">

An immediate fix would be to add a setting for sortable to ignore dataview tables.

Also, there's an open discussion about this topic here.
Any idea or suggestion is greatly appreciated!

In that case, I have a bug. When I sort a dataview table (128 rows, 4 cols), the table sorts as desired, but after a short pause (1 sec or so) it reverts to its unsorted order. I have tried this in my vault, with many plugins, snippets and the Minimal theme, and also in a vanilla test vault - same result. Do you need any more info from me?

This is a known compatibility issue. From dataview 0.2.14 onwards an auto-refresh feature was added, which disregards any past state of the table.
