Use Special:Contact/feedback and ask Wikia to make a help page or something for tables in the Visual Editor.
Personally, I find any version of the VE unbearable.
If you decide to break down and use the Source Editor, there is help (unlike the VE): Help:Wikitext/table_examples
Yes, I agree . VE is not really recommended for tables and Infoboxes. However, I believe that It can be accessible on the right hand side of the "CLASSIC" visual editor
Use the Source, Luke.
I actually figured out vi commands to alphabetically sort the tables so I'm good doing the simple things.
