Option to Sort Columns

Howdy,

As should be custom, I'll preempt my request by saying that Jamovi is the best statistics program to ever exist, and I am endlessly grateful for it's existence - thank you! I have been spearheading the use of it for my introductory and advanced psychology statistics units, but unfortunately only in addition to SPSS. Preferably we could just have only Jamovi, but the only thing I get pushback about is the fact that Jamovi cannot sort within columns by ascending/descending simply like you can in excel/SPSS. I know Modules exist but it feels against the spirit of such an intuitive program that you can't right click sort.

This is essentially the only complaint I get from students/staff about Jamovi, as it would make some small things much easier (e.g., sorting Z-scores to find outliers, sorting standardised residuals, general exploration). So please take my begging into consideration and think about including the option in later updates!

Thanks so much,
Zach
