More Sort Levels

Courtney S.

Please add the ability to use more sort levels when sorting sheets and reports. It's pretty easy to run up against the limit of only being able to sort by 3 columns. In my personal experience there are cases I've hit where we would need to use 5 columns to have a sheet or report sorted in the most logical order. I'm sure many organizations would benefit from any increase in the number of sort levels available.

I agree. Has anyone found a workaround please?

Good afternoon,

I find almost always on a task list that being limited to only 3 layers of sorting capability makes it challenging to properly rank task sheets. I find myself having to create complicated formulas to assign a numerical value in order to properly sort.

My suggestion is adding the capability of sorting to 6 levels.

I have also wanted this change for a long time and have requested it. So far i have just got an email directing me to this post. Many of my reports would sort much better if there was 5 or even more sorts. Hope to see some action from Smartsheet on this soon….

Thanks

I know this request doesn't have that many votes, but that's probably because no know this thread exists. Would be good if Smartsheet could take some action on this. Only having 3 sorts really limits the functionality of reports. A lot of work prioritizing schedules etc would be eliminated by simply adding more ( at least 5 ) sort layers. We use Smartsheet for our production scheduling and this would help a lot to automate the prioritization of jobs. Please consider this request seriously.

Thanks
