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.

Hope that helps!
I'm receiving this message every time I try to open my sheets. I'm the only admin user. I have already performed proper troubleshooting, such as clearing the cache, logging in incognito, and logging out and back in, but the issue remains unresolved. It's been a few days, and I'm unable to track our projects and this…
I’ve created an automation that generates a document and forwards it to the individual specified in a cell. The line item also has several additional attachments associated with it. Is there a way to include those attachments with the generated document?
I have an automation set up that copies a row to another sheet each day. The automation itself works correctly, but the problem is that it copies the formulas rather than the values, which causes the formulas to break and return errors. How can I configure it to copy only the values instead of the formulas?
