Rows randomly reordering

I use a shared sheet and the rows will randomly change. We've looked at filters and rules but nothing would trigger the changing of the rows.

Anyone else having this issue?

    @Laura A Is anyone using the "Sort Row" option when they right click on the column name? This is a different way of changing the data outside of the Smartsheet Filter and rules. It functions more similar to the Microsoft Excel "Filter" option and will reorganize your data into a new order.

  • Thanks, Brian. We've done some testing but that doesn't seem to be the issue.

    hi @Laura A,

    As in Smartsheet Sheet you cannot by default set up sorting each time when you open it the order can get random :( so each time you would have to go to a row and sort it but next time when you open same problem occurs.

    I had similar case so to keep my order intact I created report out of this one sheet and there the sorting can be setup for good.

    Hope it helps.
