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!

Happy to help!
You must program with the help of the Smartsheet API so it's not done inside of Smartsheet.

How can I delete old sheets I no longer use from my account?
I'm trying to display a task progress chart showing "complete", "late", and "not complete" in my dashboard and for some reason the chart will display as a column chart but it won't display as a donut chart even though I'm referencing the same report. I'd prefer to display as a donut chart as I think it looks better and is…
Hello, I am trying to create a chart widget in my dashboard, but I keep getting "Selected data cannot be charted. Please select a new range." error. The report I am using is already summarized in numeric value. What is funny is I have report that I created a chart widget in another dashboard, and when I use that same…
