    Workaround to sort Report rows manually?

    ✭✭✭✭✭
    in Smartsheet Basics

    Anyone have a workaround solution to sort Report rows manually?

    For example, we need to put priority items at the top - but that priority is manually adjusted (not logical). Using a 'Priority' column to sort by doesn't work, because they want to move around and see how it's adjusted without having to save and refresh the report to get the sort order to take effect.

    I'm pretty sure Dynamic View or WorkApps won't be a solution for this but hoping someone has some ideas. Thanks!

      Hi,

      I hope you're well and safe!

      You could add a priority column with numbers or letters and sort it by that, change it, update it, and see the change.

      Make sense?

      Would that work/help?

      I hope that helps!

      Be safe, and have a fantastic day!

      Best,

      Saving and refreshing is not ideal. That's the only solution I could think of, but figured someone may have been creative in another way.
