I have a sharepoint test list named Test, and it contain 10,000 items and i did not add any index to the sharepoint list. now when i write this formula, i were able to filter:-

Filter(Test,Num=Value(TextInput1.Text))

but when i wrote this formula to filter and sort, i did not get any item:-

Sort(Filter(Test,Num=Value(TextInput1.Text)),names)

so can i conclude that creating a SharePoint index is only needed for sorting and not for filtering? as seems the filter is working without having any index..

any advice?

@johnjohnPter ,

You should index any column in SharePoint that is used in any query (Filter/LookUp/Sort by) as good practice, however once you reach 5,000 items it is basically essential.
