    Hey Marsha_R,

    var tableArray = window.FindAllChildren("JavaClassName","UITablePeer$23",2000,true).toArray()

    var sortedTableArray = tableArray.sort(function(a,b){return a.Left - b.Left})

     

    Now, the documentation for the FindAll and FindAll children does warn that  JScript, C#Script and C++Script users need to convert using toArray(), but I did not think this applied to me since I'm coding in Javascript.
