Some way to sort scaffolding list before editing

Hello.

I have created task list in scaffolding for our service appartment. I'm using scaffolding table and the first column is the name of our customers (which are companies).
Once a week they go over that list and change statuses and priorities for each task. They have worked by going through each customer at a time and editing his tasks and then go to the next and so forth.
Is there any possibilety to have the task list sorted by this first column while editing? I'm pretty sure that sorting isn't possible and was thinking about if I could write an update query to have the list sorted before they go into editing or something along that lines?

What do you think?
