Bridge sort sheet by two columns

Zeb Loewenstein

We're using an HTTP Call to sort a sheet based on the values within a column.

Is it possible to sort by TWO columns within the same query? If so, I'd be grateful to know how the parameter body should be updated to accommodate.

E.g. Sort by "Manager" then "Resource Name"

Form Parameter - Body = {"sortCriteria": [{"columnId": 3400991145518980, "direction": "ASCENDING"}]}

Hi @Zeb Loewenstein

Yes this should be possible! I haven't tested this directly in Bridge but I know you can do it using the Smartsheet API.

Here's the documentation on row sorting, and here's the information about the SortSpecifier Object.

This is what an example Body would look like:

{
    "sortCriteria": 
    [
        {
            "columnId": 11111,
            "direction": "ASCENDING"
        },
        {
            "columnId": 22222,
            "direction": "ASCENDING"
        }
    ]
}

You'll want to list the column IDs in order of priority. Let me know if this works for you!

Cheers,
