I wish the process of sorting a table during the editing process would support the ability to click on the first-row and then while holding down the shift-key, allow the scroll bar to move to the last row where a second click of the mouse would highlight the entire table.

An alternative would be to drag the mouse from the first row to be included in the sort to the last row while the window automatically scrolled the table until all the rows to be sorted could be included.

When working with large tables that get a lot of editing during software updates the amount of times a table must be sorted in sections takes a lot of time. Usually it is faster to save a copy of the table, paste it into word, save it as a filtered HTML file and then use Excel to handle the sorting. After the sorting copy the table from the save filtered and sorted HTML file and then paste it back into H&M.
