Sorting

NameDescription
Enable Sorting Feature

Determines if the ordering of rows is to be enforced.

The property fields "Enable Sorting Feature" and "Field ID for Sorting" stores the form grid record row sequence, meaning it records which ID sits in row 1, row 2, and so on and rearranges it back in this same ascending sequence on load binder.

If you are using this property, key in a unique field ID in the "Field ID for Sorting" property. This field ID must *not* be an existing field in your form which that you use for your form data. Typically we use the field ID "sort" and Joget will automatically create this column in your database table (Do not use the field ID "sort" anywhere else in your form).

If you need automatic sorting on another column value when loading the form grid/spreadsheet, use Load Grid Data with Custom Sorting and Filtering or Database SQL Query with the "ORDER BY ASC" SQL statement.

Field ID for SortingField to keep the ordering sequence; must correspond with a field id (i.e. hidden field) to keep the sequence number (i.e. 0,1,2,3,4) in the target form.
