Hello! I'm hoping one of the next big waves of feature updates could be improving the 'sort' and 'search' options.

It gets frustrating having to re-sort my rows constantly while my data gets manually or automatically changed frequently. There should be an option to 'lock' a sorting option so everything auto-sorts based on one or two columns, and then have the admin disable or change as needed. Similar to how reports are able to group. For example, I always need my sheets sorted by status: new/not started at the top and completed at the bottom, AND then by date assigned, newest on top, etc. As rows are marked as complete, or the status changes to 'hold' or 'in progress', the rows don't move automatically and the sheet starts to look very unorganized.

Also, with search (CNTRL+F search within the sheet, not the overall smartsheet search, which I do love!), I wish there was an easier way to just see the 3 or 4 items that come up when you search that selection, without having to create a whole filter or click next and click through all of them. I don't want to keep having to make filters that say 'show if order number equals 450629830', isolate those, do what I need to do, then delete or edit that filter again. It's just a really long process, having an option to 'view all' or something similar in search would be helpful.

Filters are great but when you export to Excel, all of the rows and columns export with some hidden. I would like the option to export just what has been filtered.

When we are browsing Smartsheet, on the right we can see the folders and workspaces, in the center a window shows the workspace or the selected folder, and on the right the window with the sharing information. That last window takes up a lot of space and cannot be collapsed. The suggestion is that we could collapse it when desired.
