Is there a way to have a sheet auto alphabetize? I have a sheet with thousands of rows and users generally enter new rows at the bottom/next available row.
Hi,
Unfortunately, it's not possible to auto alphabetize in a sheet at the moment, but it's a great idea!
Please submit an Enhancement Request when you have a moment.
A possible workaround could be to use a report instead.
Would that work/help?
Have a fantastic week!

Thanks - a report would be great for a snapshot for a team leader but the problem is that the everyday user is simply going to the bottom of the sheet, most of the time, and adding entries.
Is there a way to run an "auto sort" during a specified time or after a specific event?
Ok. Maybe it's possible to trigger the auto-sorting thru the API.
Would that be an option?

I feel like a form/report/dashboard combo may work pretty well for this. The form would keep people from having to scroll to the bottom of so many rows, and the report would do an auto-sort.
You could use a URL widget to put the form on a dashboard and a report widget would allow for any editing that may be needed.
Everything would be on the dashboard, new entries can be made quickly, and you get the auto-sorting of the report.
Sure! I think so! Can you advise on how to set up and I will try it?
Excellent!
This might help!

Thanks! Were would I put this code in order to auto sort?
Happy to help!
You must program with the help of the Smartsheet API so it's not done inside of Smartsheet.

When the automation copy row to new grid when the criteria is triggered; can we make a selection for only x amount of column to be copied and not all columns from the original gird?
I’m working with a date column in Smartsheet and want to apply conditional formatting based on the number of days since the event occurred. The goal is to automatically color-code the cells relative to today’s date. For example: Blue if the event occurred more than 730 days ago. Green if the event occurred between 365 and…
