First: I love tablr. I've been using it a lot recently and am very pleased with it.
I want to sort by multiple columns. For example, if my CSV records have a COMPANY and a EMPLOYEE field I'd like to sort by COMPANY and within each group of records for a company have the PERSON field sorted as well. If tablr used a stable sorting algorithm I could do this by sorting on PERSON first, applying the sort, and then sorting on COMPANY and applying that sort. Unfortunately this doesn't work. I'm assuming tablr is not using a stable sort algorithm? (Don't have time to look through the code right now.)
Could tablr switch to using a stable sort algorithm? It would be a "nice to have" enhancement.
Or am I missing a trick that would let me do multi-column sorts as it is?
