I thought I’d bump this thread to see if there’s any movement on persistent / live sorting. My use case is that I have an external view of a “deliverables” table that’s embedded on a webpage that is a subset of the table which is filtered on a column called “job number” a particular client. This embedded client view has a sort applied to it based on date created, so that new items show up at the top of the table.
The problem I have is that when new deliverables are added to the table, even though the view on the non-embedded side shows me that there is a sort applied to the view, it must be re-applied manually even if the page or view has been loaded fresh. This isn’t great. If I’ve loaded the view, and there is a sorting filter present, it would stand to reason that the current view has already been sorted by this criteria when in fact, the sort must be re-applied to the view in order to affect the embedded view. I would expect that if I’ve set up an external view with a filter and sort criteria, that the external view would apply the sort on page load.
I have a similar situation with a list of cars in stock that are organised by make and model by default. Cars are added through a form so the actual grid view is rarely interacted with by someone with edit permissions, so I’m having to manually update the sort a few times a day. Not ideal. Hope it’s coming soon!
+1. appreciate its on the dev road map, but can’t come quick enough for me! Even if “live-sorting” is some way off, a button to “re-apply sorts in all views” would be an interim solution rather than having to open each view individually to re-apply the sort.
With the advent of Grouped Records, you could sort of have live sorting now. If you’d consider putting it in at the ‘Grid’ view level that would be awesome.
Ok a compromise, if only one user, then sort as the view is opened. Then on
the the other hand if someone has a sort attached to a view why not? It is
sorted anyway, and the auto sort just adds a few more records at the top.
Why would one night to see those?
