Function Names
table rearrange selected rowsDescription
This function rearranges selected rows in the table in order to put them together into one block so they are no longer scattered across the table. The ordering of the selected rows will not change, but you can change it (before or) afterwards with table sort selected rows(). This function extracts a column from the table and places the values in the set from the selected rows where the calculated expression returns true. All blank or non-existing entries will be translated to blank strings. Automatic type conversion (e.g. numbers to numerals) can be adjusted with the table configure() function.
