Currently, sorting in Table View only impacts how data is displayed. It does not actually change the order of the underlying data.
There are times where I rely on the data to be in a specific order (not just displayed).
Lets say I have a project plan. There is a requirement that my child rows are numbered in chronological order, so I set up a column formula to do this.
I realize the date of that last child row (highlighted) needs changed, so I change it and then just sort the sheet to get it where it needs to be chronologically.
In Grid View, this also automatically updates my [Child Number] column.
In Table View, it does not.
In a large project plan with multiple layers where this impacts other formulas down the line such as an automatically updating WBS system, manual intervention is just not feasible.
