Filter does actually work. DaveC gave a very good example a year or two ago about doing it. It's a matter of a save of the table (data only), filtering that includes line numbers, and the calling the data by the line number. That's probably not a very accurate description, but I don't have the code in front of me.
Yes, it's a workaround, but it allows very quick sorting of the hash tables with very little coding necessary to do it (under 5 lines).
