When you sort a table that contains nets, the elements within each net are kept together and sorted within the net. For example, the following unsorted table contains a number of nets:

You can sort the rows of the table by their values in the Base column by selecting Gender{Base} from the Column Sorting list box on the Preferences tab. See To sort a table on a row or column for more information.

Here is the sorted table:

Notice that the elements within each net have been sorted, and that the net groups have been sorted, but that the elements within each net group have been kept together.

Note that you cannot use an element that is inside a net to sort the other axis of the table.

You cannot sort an axis that contains net elements in an outer nest level. Any sorting that would apply to the axis is ignored.
