Turns the matrix into a new data table. Invisible(1) hides the data table from view. An invisible data table can be open from the JMP Home Window or the Window menu. Private(1) avoids opening the data table. A private data table is generally for scripts that want better control of the data table by not exposing it to general use.

A number of other formats can be set on matrix boxes. See number col box<<Set Format(<width>|<width, decimal places>, <"Use thousands separator">) for details about the syntax.

Sorts the rows of the matrix based on the column number specified by column_num. The default sort order is ascending.

If column_num is 0, the sort is removed.

If ascending_bool is "True", the sort is performed in ascending order. If ascending_bool is "False", the sort is in descending order.
