After viewing some of your tutorials about the use of Javascript in macOS, I’ve been trying to build my first script for automating the use of Numbers spreadsheets. I already have a fair expertise in programming in VBA and (less so) in Applescript. Unfortunately I have encountered many difficulties in finding a good source of reference from which to learn JS syntax. For example, what’s the correct instruction for sorting a table range? Many thanks for your help. Massimo

Is There a JavaScript User Manual for Numbers?

The only reference is in the Script Editor app. Just bring up the Library window, switch it to JavaScript from AppleScript, and you have a complete reference. However, though complete, it is lacking in details. But at least knowing what different properties are called will allow you to then search the web for examples. I usually start searches with “JavaScript JXA Mac” and then whatever I am looking for. I find people post example code at GitHub and the like and I scour those for what I need.
