Hello all -
 
I have built a dynamic table that is based on an underlying XML schema. The table has an unlimited number of rows which can can be added by the end user, with each row containing a set of values that get summed in the last column. I now need to create, either in the same table or in a separate one, a field which compares each of the summed totals against the others and then ranks them from 1 (highest) to ... (lowest). Anyone have any ideas? I have tried to create a second table which hidden in the form. My goal was to have the summed valued from the main table copy down and then have the hidden table automatically sort itself based on the value that is copied, but I can't figure out how to get the rows to automatically sort.
 
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks for the post. I had seen something similar to this and tried it before. However, I was not able to get second table to re-sort each time a value was changed in the primary one. Maybe there is an action command that I am not aware of? I have been able to get the values to sort using buttons, but I need to be able to hide the second table and have it sort automatically. Again, thanks for the help!
