Auto Sort

Sean Taber

Hello,

Is there any way to create automation that will automatically sort a sheet when a cell is updated or changed?

Thank you,

Sean

Have you considered using a report? A report can gather all of the data in your original sheet and display it (keeping it editable in the report) in a sorted order. The only challenge with a report is that if you are using hierarchy (indented rows) the report does not keep hierarchy. Perhaps that will work for you.

Thank you, after I posted I searched and saw this question has been asked a good amount. I will give the report a try.

I would like to request this as an automation update. Yes we understand reports. We would also like this option in the mainsheet as well.

SSFeatures

Hi @latheobald89201, I created a browser extension (SSFeatures) that lets you automatically sort your data in the main sheet.

The extension adds a "Sort Automatically" button that you can enable to automatically sort your data.

Best!
