Great news! We’ve just enabled this feature for everyone. Check out Mikayla’s post below for more info.

Apparently Groups will auto-sort themselves. When @Chris_Mondeau makes a new record, and the DateTime value he is grouping on populates, the record will hover into that orange-highlighted “I’m not where I’m supposed to be” mode until he clicks off it. But once he clicks off it, that new record puts itself into a new “Group” that is properly inserted into the right place amid the other groups in the view.


Not an easy way to work, though, like he said, because each record is going to be in its own group. This means each record is going to require about 5x the space on the screen that a record in ungrouped grid view will.


Jeremy, I noticed it too a while ago:



Hopefully it partly means that this topice can be closed asap :winking_face:

Hi


Will this also be available for the free plan? If so, I would be interested in the Beta Testing.


Thank you,

Automatic Sorting in Views is a MUST Have feature!!

If the most current records do not show up on top where they belong the users think the program is not working and lose confidence in it.


+100 on this feature

Great news! Today we officially launched automatic sorting views for all users, both on free and paid plans. To start automatically sorting your records, select the “keep sorted” toggle when configuring the sort. For any existing sorts, you’ll need to activate the “keep sorted” toggle to enable automatic sorting but going forward, all new sorts will be automatic by default.



To learn more about sorting, check out our guide to sorting and record order or feel free to reach out to our team if you have additional questions.
