+1 for persistent sorting (especially because sorting has been offered as a workaround for another feature request: filtering data on linked fields. Thanks @Matt_Bush for checking in. Looking forward to an update!
Wanted to mention my company’s need for autosort. I would like to have a checkbox for each particular tab to enable autosort.
For example:
We are an Mechanical contracting company that keeps track of the equipment we work on, and keep a table that is sorted by the location and designated number of the unit. As technicians add equipment to the list through a form, the new items are put at the bottom of the list gradually creating a mess that someone at the office has to resolve by going in and manually resorting the list. The technicians have view only access to the list through the web hyperlink and are unable to do it themselves as we don’t want to grant full access to our company database to every single employee we have (because that could end in disaster)
Auto sorting is a no brainer in many cases, and in situations where it doesn’t work (ie collaboration) a check box to turn it off would do just fine. We can already have entries auto filter, I’m a little confused about why this would be different.
Yes! Need ability to keep a sort! I use this for membership directories. When a new record is added I have to make sure it is sorted all the time to show the companies in order.
