Reordering entries not updated in other views

[Saga_Media]

When reordering an entry(row) my other views will not update and show the change. Any way I can easily update my new order also in the other views? I am using Airtable to set up a Church Service where each entry is a certain activity taking place; the order of which is essential.

Perhaps a “sort order” field that you maintain manually and include in your sorting rule? Then you could include it in the other tables as a lookup and sort with it there too.

You´re right, thank you. I made a sort order field with autonumber, and then to reflect changes I changed the field property to numbers and back to autonumber again. But I´d like the update to be automatically; that I could include a formula in the field that references the entry immediately before - like in a spreadsheet, and have the sort order field always reflect the order of the columns.

Unfortunately the sort and filtering options aren’t automatic, because one of the key functions of Airtable is the different views that can be created which sets a static display of data in a specific format. If it were constantly updating based on other view changes, it would eliminate the functionality it was designed for.

I agree in making a specific column for this (and hiding it if you so choose), then just making it so every time you look at that view you simply need two clicks to do a refresh - click on the Filter options, then reapply. I hope that helps!
