Sorting and Filtering

yheng

Hello,

I have users who are wanting to sort their filtered view without impacting the data structure. I've seen in a couple threads now that the workaround is to build a report, but non-licensed users are not able to filter and sort within the report I made - so there's really no point to the report now. Does anyone have solution to this?

Thanks

Hi @yheng

I hope you're well and safe!

Unfortunately, I don't think there is another way, or at least not a good way.

One possible workaround would be to have a so-called helper column with the original order so you can always get back to it.

Would that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic week!

Best,

Thanks Andree. I certainly hope Smartsheet will allow collaborators to filter and sort reports like before.
