Option to add row from top not from bottom


I think some tables requires that the new records are on the 1st row not the last, I know there are sorting options that could do that but I would like to see that as an option (top to bottom or bottom to top)

Just to comment, you can also do secondary click and Insert record above.

Maybe even a little icon next to the “expand” arrows to add a row above/below. Anytime we can save mouse clicks if helpful, especially if the you need to figure out where to click next (context menus open all over the place.)

Even better, shortcut keys for adding above/below. I’d really like to see Airtable be able to be run without any mouse interactions.

Sorry to be negative @ripwit but I am concerned about the concept of running Airtable without mouse interactions, A lot of the time, I am only interacting by mouse because data has been entered either by others or historically.

Right click to add, copy or delete a row anywhere in a table is a useful feature for modifying a single entry in, for instance, an alphabetical list. @Ali_Aboutera

Yeah, this would be ideal.
