Wondering if there is a way to sort rows of a sheet on open.
Otherwise you have to set this up manually each time. If this is a smart sheet you would think it would be able to do this.
Hi Steve,
Unfortunately, it's not possible. Great idea!
Please submit an Enhancement Request when you have a moment.
A possible workaround could be to have a report that's sorted with the same criteria.
Would that work?
Have a fantastic week!

As a work around would you be able to create a report that shows all of the data in your source sheet? The report can be sorted and will always open with your pre-defined sort order. You can still edit data in the report (view). However, if you want to insert new rows & columns or forumlas you need to edit the sheet.
I agree with Mike and Andree. Reports will allow you to pull the data from the main sheet and display in a sorted format. Edits made to the report are immediately reflected on the main sheet. You can't, however, edit cells that contain formulas in a report.
Let us know if you that worked for you and if you got it working!
Not really going to work as the notification of an item that has arrived or needs updating etc is in the main register and is where it should be. I would have thought this would have been a simple tool that would have been built. To sort on open based on the sheets settings.
I am trying to populate a column from Sheet A into Sheet B and Sheet C. My Lookup column for Sheet A is formatted as such so there is a ' in front to account for ones that have a leading 0 and some do not. Each ID should be 6 digits long. I made a helper column looking at this Dealer ID column to try and get rid of that…
am I able to separate this into multiple rows? in a new sheet? Desired Result -
I would like to parse out this data by creating a listing with a row for each person, for each project they appear on, for each month. I think this would only give me the groupings anyways, but this doesnt seem to even get me started - it popped up then people have disappeared.
