Table.FromRecords({[OrderID=1,CustomerID=1,Item="Fishing rod",Price=100],[OrderID=2,CustomerID=1,Item="1 lb. worms",Price=5],[OrderID=3,CustomerID=2,Item="Fishing net",Price=25],[OrderID=4,CustomerID=3,Item="Fish tazer",Price=200],[OrderID=5,CustomerID=3,Item="Bandaids",Price=2],[OrderID=6,CustomerID=1,Item="Tackle box",Price=20],[OrderID=7,CustomerID=5,Item="Bait",Price=3.25],[OrderID=8,CustomerID=5,Item="Fishing Rod",Price=100],[OrderID=9,CustomerID=6,Item="Bait",Price=3.25]})
Sort the table on column "OrderID" in descending order.
Table.Sort(Table.FromRecords({[OrderID = 1, CustomerID = 1, Item = "Fishing rod", Price = 100.0], [OrderID = 2, CustomerID = 1, Item = "1 lb. worms", Price = 5.0], [OrderID = 3, CustomerID = 2, Item = "Fishing net", Price = 25.0], [OrderID = 4, CustomerID = 3, Item = "Fish tazer", Price = 200.0], [OrderID = 5, CustomerID = 3, Item = "Bandaids", Price = 2.0], [OrderID = 6, CustomerID = 1, Item = "Tackle box", Price = 20.0], [OrderID = 7, CustomerID = 5, Item = "Bait", Price = 3.25], [OrderID = 8, CustomerID = 5, Item = "Fishing Rod", Price = 100.0], [OrderID = 9, CustomerID = 6, Item = "Bait", Price = 3.25]}), {"OrderID", Order.Descending})
Table.FromRecords({[OrderID=9,CustomerID=6,Item="Bait",Price=3.25],[OrderID=8,CustomerID=5,Item="Fishing Rod",Price=100],[OrderID=7,CustomerID=5,Item="Bait",Price=3.25],[OrderID=6,CustomerID=1,Item="Tackle box",Price=20],[OrderID=5,CustomerID=3,Item="Bandaids",Price=2],[OrderID=4,CustomerID=3,Item="Fish tazer",Price=200],[OrderID=3,CustomerID=2,Item="Fishing net",Price=25],[OrderID=2,CustomerID=1,Item="1 lb. worms",Price=5],[OrderID=1,CustomerID=1,Item="Fishing rod",Price=100]})
Sort the table on column "CustomerID" then "OrderID", with "CustomerID" being in ascending order.
Table.Sort(Table.FromRecords({[OrderID = 1, CustomerID = 1, Item = "Fishing rod", Price = 100.0], [OrderID = 2, CustomerID = 1, Item = "1 lb. worms", Price = 5.0], [OrderID = 3, CustomerID = 2, Item = "Fishing net", Price = 25.0], [OrderID = 4, CustomerID = 3, Item = "Fish tazer", Price = 200.0], [OrderID = 5, CustomerID = 3, Item = "Bandaids", Price = 2.0], [OrderID = 6, CustomerID = 1, Item = "Tackle box", Price = 20.0], [OrderID = 7, CustomerID = 5, Item = "Bait", Price = 3.25], [OrderID = 8, CustomerID = 5, Item = "Fishing Rod", Price = 100.0], [OrderID = 9, CustomerID = 6, Item = "Bait", Price = 3.25]}), { {"CustomerID", Order.Ascending}, "OrderID"})
Table.FromRecords({[OrderID=1,CustomerID=1,Item="Fishing rod",Price=100],[OrderID=2,CustomerID=1,Item="1 lb. worms",Price=5],[OrderID=6,CustomerID=1,Item="Tackle box",Price=20],[OrderID=3,CustomerID=2,Item="Fishing net",Price=25],[OrderID=4,CustomerID=3,Item="Fish tazer",Price=200],[OrderID=5,CustomerID=3,Item="Bandaids",Price=2],[OrderID=7,CustomerID=5,Item="Bait",Price=3.25],[OrderID=8,CustomerID=5,Item="Fishing Rod",Price=100],[OrderID=9,CustomerID=6,Item="Bait",Price=3.25]})
