We're Moving to a New Support Platform – Starting June 1st!

We’re excited to let you know that starting June 1st, we’ll be transitioning to a new support system that will be available directly on our product websites – Amelia, wpDataTables, and Report Builder. In fact, the new support platform is already live for Amelia and wpDataTables, and we encourage you to reach out to us there.

You'll always be able to reach us through a widget in the bottom right corner of each website, where you can ask questions, report issues, or simply get assistance.

While we still do not offer live support, a new advanced, AI-powered assistant, trained on our documentation, use cases, and real conversations with our team, is there to help with basic to intermediate questions in no time.

We're doing our best to make this transition smooth and hassle-free. After June 1st, this current support website will redirect you to the new "Contact Us" pages on our product sites.

Thanks for your continued support and trust – we’re excited to bring you an even better support experience!

    I have a project in development mode as we convert from Joomla to Wordpress.  I though this would be a great option for our league standings (we have 17 age groups amongst our sports leagues). We sort standings by calculated win percentage.  Turns out, I can't sort by a calculated formula.  Oddly, this is the single most important thing for the standings.

    Am I missing something that will allow it?  Sorting by Wins is not good enough.

    Hi FirstPageMedia,
    Thank you for your purchase.

    Unfortunately that is not possible with built in features of plugin. But you can make it with some workaround. You can add one more column and set Column type to float. Then copy all the data from formula column to new one so they look the same. Then you can set for that new column option Use as default sorting column on SORTING tab in column settings and choose Default sorting direction what you need. Then turn off option Visible on front-end on DATA tab also in column settings so ti will not be visible. Like this your table will be sorted like you requested.

    Kind Regards, 

    Isidora Markovic
