  Why does interactive sorting close (hide) a row that was already toggled open (visible)?

  Issue; In a table

  I have 3 rows=category, subcat and detail

  I have 3 columns = name, count and amount

  Category row totals up for all subcat rows, subcat rows total up for all detail. Simple.

  By defalt I only show the category rows at first with all totals at the category level.

  I have the subcat rows hidden, toggled by category name.

  I have the detail rows hidden, toggled by the subcat name.

  I want to click on the category count cell to interactive sort the subcat rows. <-- issue to resolve

  I toggle open (make viewable) the subcat rows based on clicking on the category name

  Problem; once the subcat rows are visible and I click on the category count cell to resort the subcat rows, the subcat rows close (HIDE) and I have to make them visible again by clicking on the category name again.

  Why does the interactive sort on a grouped total cell hide rows that were previously visible?

  Thanks.

  Hey Mate,

  I experience the same problem and equally frustrated by it.

  One thing i do now Is make the groups expanded now by default and remove the collapse/expand setting.

  This will allow you to sort without it automatically collapsing - Just doesn't look as nice.

  Good Luck.
