Wondering if there is a way to sort rows of a sheet on open.
Otherwise you have to set this up manually each time. If this is a smart sheet you would think it would be able to do this.
Hi Steve,
Unfortunately, it's not possible. Great idea!
Please submit an Enhancement Request when you have a moment.
A possible workaround could be to have a report that's sorted with the same criteria.
Would that work?
Have a fantastic week!

As a work around would you be able to create a report that shows all of the data in your source sheet? The report can be sorted and will always open with your pre-defined sort order.

Using helper columns to identify the current week, I get an email report on a Monday that tells me the upcoming events in the current week (7 days) and their values. Currently if an event spans…
Hi Smartsheet Community, I'm working on an action management system where users create sub-actions through a Smartsheet Form. The requirement is simple: a sub-action's due date must be earlier than or equal to its parent action's due date. For example, if the parent action is due on June 30, 2027, users should not be able…
Hi, I want to divide a total by different rows with different weights. I've accomplished this somewhat with the formula below. However, I need each row to total the top number for "WEEK 1 REG". Project 3 should return a zero since the box for that week is unchecked, so I want the 120 split by the other two rows. My weights…
