What do you mean with a “sort table”? You can sort any table by just clicking on the column names.

I have different parameters and the one with the lowest value must be at the top. these can change from minute to minute so it has to be done continuously

Ok, now I get your problem. So I assume you get the data from somewhere, and now bind it to the `data` property of the table.

You can create a new custom property, (f.e. `unsortedData`), and link the data to that.  
Then use the `sortDataset` expression to sort your data and bind that to the `data` property to display.
