[CONFCLOUD-73756] Sort by column does not work in table macro, it only sorts by first word
I created a table in Confluence similar to what is referenced above in the issue description for the employees in my company. I recently sorted by location because I was trying to find all of the employees in CA, but I found that they were not listed together. That's how I discovered the bug. My work around was to copy the data out of Confluence and paste it into a spreadsheet, and then use the sort feature in the spreadsheet to find the information I was looking for. This does not provide a very good user experience for Confluence.
