As discussed on #sunpy with @Cadair, it would be good to have a way to index table rows based on an index column - the equivalent of `loc` in Pandas: http://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/indexing.html Of course, we can't do this in the normal item access, but we could consider having e.g. an `loc` or `select` method?

This is pretty much required for us to base our
sunpy.lightcurveobject onTable. We also are looking at getting a GSOC student to work on this.taldcroft commentedon Mar 18, 2014
@Cadair - can you give a brief example of how you would be using index selection?

I think this was implemented in the mean time:

@taldcroft - please re-open if you feel that this is not resolved.
