Table sort behaviour

[David A. Bayly]

My experience.  You must never open the table manually. If you set 
target and then table.sortBy("value") it will preserve order 
indefinitely. And, if you add an entry it will maintain order by 
value. But if you modify an existing entry it will not resort. as it 
arguably should. You can overcome this by deleting the entry and 
inserting again instead..
