Maybe some of you may have a better idea allowing me to really work with knownSyntax set to true.

The problem, of course, is defining the range. By experiment, I found that a range is defined as a string containing two cells separated by a colon, e.g.:


tell application "Numbers"
	tell document 1
		tell sheet 1
			tell table 1
				range 1
			end tell
		end tell
	end tell
end tell

--> {format:automatic, font name:"HelveticaNeue", alignment:center, font size:10.0, name:"A1:A1", class:range, text color:{0, 0, 0}, background color:{59111, 59111, 59111}, vertical alignment:top, text wrap:true}

Note that the range's name is "A1:A1".

This leads me to believe that the following script should work for a table containing rows 2 through 13:

tell application "Numbers"
	tell document 1
		tell sheet 1
			tell table 1
				sort by column 2 direction descending in rows "2:13"
			end tell
		end tell
	end tell
end tell

Unfortunately, it doesn't.

Thanks Michelle.

I forgot to write that I tested with "A2:A44" and with "2:44"

When I type = in a cell and select a few rows, I get =5:10 in the formula editor.
