Sorting a number table.

Question

This should be easy but I cannot get it to work.
I wrote a script that takes the names and addresses out of the mail program and places them in a (app)Numbers table.
I want to sort a list of names and addresses in a numbers table by the last name. The last name is in the third column.
To do the sorting I wrote
start Script :
tell application "Numbers"
tell document 1
tell sheet 1
tell table 1
sort table by column 3
end tell
end tell
end tell
end tell
End Script::
but nothing happens. Any ideas?

Answer 1

Just remove the word “table” after the word “sort” (“table of table 1” doesn't exist):
tell application "Numbers"
tell document 1
tell sheet 1
tell table 1
sort by column 3
end tell
end tell
end tell
end tell
Of course, you could also write:
tell application "Numbers" to tell table 1 of sheet 1 of document 1 to sort by column 3
