Hi,

`AddRow` adds rows to the end **or** at the top

> The second argument is optional and determines whether the row is added to the **top** or bottom of the table. A value of `true` will add the row to the **top** of the table, a value of `false` will add the row to the **bottom** of the table.

[as described here](http://tabulator.info/docs/5.0/update#row) You send `false` so new lines are added to the bottom resulting in the table sorted ascending.

you can trigger the sort by [`setSort()`](http://tabulator.info/docs/5.0/sort#manage)

and by using the [arrow keys on the header](http://tabulator.info/docs/5.0/sort#header). (if you use these it is perhaps good to know that you can receive the current sorting by `getSorters()` and then add your new lines at the top or at the end depending which state is set. _Maybe this can be tricky if you have multiple clients showing the data because they might be not in sync,_

How to scroll to the new line I think I already answered here [Problem with data displayed in UI-Table when switching Tabs - #7 by Christian-Me](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/problem-with-data-displayed-in-ui-table-when-switching-tabs/48940/7)
