Sorting Automatically in Different Languages

While the sort command in the editor will sort the table in your source language, that order may not be suitable for translated content.

For example, if you were to sort a column that only contains numbers, the sort order would work regardless of translations. But if the column contains words, then the alphabetical order could be correct for the source language, but incorrect for the translations. This is because some languages have different orders of the alphabet due to special characters.

To avoid this issue, Paligo will reapply the sort order during the publishing process. It re-sorts any table that has sorting in place, by default. If you prefer, you can disable the automatic re-sorting in the Layout Editor settings.
