If you don't mind losing h-lines, you can transpose the table, sort
rows, and transpose back.
This code (which I previously posted to the list) transposes a table:
#+begin_src: emacs-lisp
(defun org-transpose-table-at-point ()
"Transpose orgmode table at point, eliminate hlines"
(interactive)
(let ((contents (apply #'mapcar* #'list
(remove-if-not 'listp ;; remove 'hline from list
(org-table-to-lisp)))) ;; signals
error if not table
)
(delete-region (org-table-begin) (org-table-end))
(insert (mapconcat (lambda(x) (concat "| " (mapconcat 'identity x " | " ) "
|\n" ))
contents
""))
(org-table-align)
)
)
#+end_src
Regards,
.j.
