Auto sort

Chris_Lloyd

Checking if there's been any movement on having the sheets sort by data in a column as I see it's been requested since at least 2016.

We have sheets that are sorted by a date that could be 2 days from the day entered or 12 months from the day entered. We also have a filter to hide past dates. Data is being entered via form or auto moved from another spreadsheet and placed at the bottom regardless of the date.

To update we have to have a paid user go in, remove the filter, sort the column and re-enter the filter which is very frustrating and should be a very basic function for spreadsheets.

Reports are a clunky option as causing a lot more sheets in our folders.

Unfortunately, no, but it's still an excellent idea!

SSFeatures

Hi @Chris_Lloyd, I recently built a browser extension named SSFeatures that allows you to auto sort your data.

With the extension, you'll see this "Sort Automatically" checkbox, which will enable automatic sorting whenever your data changes.

I hope this helps!

That is awesome, unfortunately my office will not allow us to install extensions.
