    Dynamic "table" property?

    Is it possible to have a property editor on a document type in Umbraco that acts similar to a spreadsheet?

    My goal is to pre-define 3 or 4 columns (Field Label, Text..) and allow the Umbraco user to add rows as they wish. My ASP.NET page will then loop through the rows and build the content based on the rows

    Ideally the table could also be sortable

    Is this a property editor already available or does anyone know of any custom ones?

    That is certainly possible, and there are several that are similar to what you describe. Here's one (Pairs) that was just released within the last few days: https://our.umbraco.org/projects/backoffice-extensions/pairs/

    It only supports 2 columns, but I imagine it would be simple enough to extend it to 4.

    Nested Content is also built into the core now (Umbraco 7.7+). That would allow you to build a list of data, with each item in the list having 4 "columns" (really, properties).

    There is also Archetype, which is very similar to Nested Content: https://our.umbraco.org/projects/backoffice-extensions/archetype/

    There are some others that were available for older versions of Umbraco, but I'm not sure if they've been ported to Umbraco 7.

    If you want to build a custom one, it wouldn't be all that difficult; that way, you could add exactly the features you want (e.g., sort by a "column" alphabetically).
