GeoPhilia in your quiz "Ocal ludzkość, zgadując kraje" in polish JetPunk, there was a request from one of the users and could you solve this problem? This user named is 19rico20 and wrote so:

Super quiz, mam pytanie czy można jakoś zrobić żeby przeglądając statystki, móc posortować to pod względem populacji, ale od największej do najmniejszej lub na odwrót bo mimo że naciskam żeby posortować to i tak jest rozsypane to byle jak?
