[Jprogramming] Rearranging rows of tables

[Raul Miller]

Here is the behavior I implemented:

   D f 1
+--+----+--+
|18|GOAT|10|
+--+----+--+
|27|BAT |9 |
+--+----+--+
|30|CAT |11|
+--+----+--+
   D f 3
+--+----+--+
|27|BAT |9 |
+--+----+--+
|18|GOAT|10|
+--+----+--+
|30|CAT |11|
+--+----+--+

Your "I guess I should explain better" comment suggests that that what
I implemented is *not* what you want.

But your following description seems to me to be claiming that what I
implemented *is* what you want.

So I am a bit confused now.

Is there anything you can do to help me resolve this implied contradiction?

Thanks,
