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. For more information, see To sort a table on a row or column.

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