In this tutorial, we will demonstrate how to sort a datalist by multiple columns. In this sample, we will focus on sorting by three columns: Country, first name, and last name.

Currently, Joget doesn't offer the option to directly sort the list by multiple columns natively, however there is a method to do so by using the Database SQL Query.

SQL Select Query

This SQL query will sort the datalist by country, then first name, then last name.

SELECT c_country
  , c_first_name
  , c_last_name
FROM
 FROM   (
        SELECT c_country
          , c_first_name
          , c_last_name
        FROM
            app_fd_details
        ORDER BY
            c_country asc
          , c_first_name asc
          , c_last_name asc
        LIMIT 18446744073709551615
    )
