Annoying column ordering issue with Record List Block

[Indresh_Kumar]

Guys, I use the record list block as a way to show records on my “dashboard” of blocks. This way if I need to work on a particular item, I don’t need to hide away the blocks, instead blocks have become the “front-end” for me.

However, the way record list block is currently configured, it picks up the columns visibility (hide/unhide), and the column order from the first view of the table. It doesn’t pick it up from the view used to configure the block.

I find that a bit annoying. Is there a workaround?

Hi @Indresh_Kumar,

You can move the view you want to the top, this should solve it, correct?

Hi Mohamed.

Yes, moving the view to the top solves the problem.

There are some cases where different blocks are pulling record list from different views of the same table. Example: “interviews” and “offers” use the same table “applications”. In such cases all the blocks have the same order irrespective of the view they are using.

Ya I get your point. Dont know if there is a workaround it though.
