How to layout tables in custom order by RTF

Question

Hi, All

I am looking to layout 8 tables per page in RTF, 2x4.

The tables should be generated based on the values contained in a single row of the data model,

I would like the output in the following order

* one table on the upper left
* one table to the right of 1. 3. one table to the left of the next line
* one table to the left of the next line 4. one table to the right of 3.
* one table to the right of 3.

Repeat 3-4, breaking page after outputting 8 tables

To implement the above

I used MS Word's column settings,

However, I could not get the desired display order because it prints downwards.

Please let me know if there is a way to implement the desired layout.

Hi, @RichardChan

I would prefer that each table be generated by rows.

It would certainly be one way to sort the data,

But I would like to know if there is a way to solve this in RTF if possible.

Just to clarify you are storing the data to populate all 8 tables in the same row rather than 8 separate rows?

Are you able to reorder the data so that the boxes flow as required as I'm not sure you can alter the functionality of a word column.

Usually this is a repeated block based of rows of data.
