As i understand it, this should work:
* Table
#+name: table1
| Manufacturer | Name | Price |
|-----------------+-------------+-------|
| ACME | super cheep | 127 $ |
| Roadrunner Inc. | Kaboom | 27 $ |
| ACME | cheep | 30 $ |
#+RESULTS: resorted
| Manufacturer | Name | Price |
|-----------------+-------------+-------|
| ACME | super cheep | 127 $ |
| ACME | cheep | 30 $ |
| Roadrunner Inc. | Kaboom | 27 $ |
** Code for resorting
#+name: resorted
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :var data=table1 :colnames t
(sort data (lambda (row1 row2) (string< (last row1) (last row2))))
#+END_SRC
But I get:
Wrong type argument: stringp, ("30 $“)
