Workapps: save report sort criteria

Peter Jan

Situation:
Currently, a report inside a WorkApp is, by default, sorted according to the sort criteria specified in the report itself. Within the WorkApp, users can temporarily change the sort criteria, but after refreshing or navigating to another page inside the WorkApp, the sort resets back to the default.

Current Solution:
The only workaround at the moment is to create multiple reports with different sort criteria to accommodate various user preferences. This can become cumbersome and inefficient, especially when many users require different sorting.

Proposed Solution:
Introduce a setting in the WorkApp report that allows the sort order to be saved per user, ensuring that it doesn’t reset back to the default after a refresh or page change. This could be implemented in various ways, but even a simple solution like storing the preference in cookies would already provide a significant quality-of-life improvement for users.
