Sort/Reorder Rows or Columns - Make One Row Appear After Another

This rule makes one row in a table appear after another. Note that in general the best way to re-order rows is by dragging and dropping.

Example

JavaScript

You can find a simpler version of this code, which does not contain the controls, here.

includeWeb('Table JavaScript Utility Functions');

let row_labels = table.rowLabels;
if (row_labels.length < 2)
    form.ruleNotApplicable('table has only one row');
if (table.rowSpans.length > 0)
    form.ruleNotApplicable('table has row spans');

// Set up controls for user input.
const rule_name = 'Making One Row Appear After Another';
form.setHeading(rule_name);
let label_1 = form.newLabel('Make');
let label_2 = form.newLabel('appear after');
let combo_box_row_1 = form.newComboBox('row1', row_labels);
let description = form.newLabel('Choose one column in a table to appear after another.');
description.lineBreakAfter = true;
form.setInputControls([description, label_1, combo_box_row_1, label_2]);
let row_1_label = combo_box_row_1.requireValue();
let index_1 = table.rowIndex(row_1_label);
let row_labels_reduced = row_labels;
row_labels_reduced.splice(index_1, 1);
let combo_box_row_2 = form.newComboBox('row2', row_labels_reduced);
form.setInputControls([label_1, combo_box_row_1, label_2, combo_box_row_2]);
let row_2_label = combo_box_row_2.requireValue();
let index_2 = table.rowIndex(row_2_label);
form.setSummary('Make row "' + row_1_label + '" appear after row "' + row_2_label + '"');

// Move the rows
moveRowAfterComplete(index_1, index_2);
