Scripting, sorts displays correctly with output.table() but within the grid view of the UI

[Mike_Yamato]

I’m trying to sort my records alphabetically and it logs perfectly with output.table() as you see below (first screenshot). But when I close the Scripting block it’s not reflected in Grid view (2nd screenshot). What additional step am I missing?

Sorted correctly

Not sorted

That depends on what your code is doing in Script Block to accommodate the requirements which you shared for the actual table. Can you show the script here?

Welcome to the community, @Mike_Yamato! :grinning_face_with_big_eyes: You’re not missing anything. The output feature of the Scripting block only outputs to the block’s own view panel. It does not change the contents of your base. If you want to sort your base alphabetically, you can apply a sort using the Sort option in the view toolbar. More about that here:

Guide to sorting and record order

While in a view, you can sort your records so that they appear in a particular order according to the values in specific fields. Sorting your records in one view doesn't affect the order of records...

Unfortunately, there’s no way to change the record order using the Scripting block.
