Adding sort options in table header

I need some help adding a Sort to a filtered list in a Gallery.

I've added an Icon control that both flips as it's used and properly sets a Context variable to DateAscending or DateDescending.

Now that I have the context correct, I need to modify the Items property for the gallery.

The current statement is:

Switch(
 type,
 "All", Tickets,
 "Requests older than 3 days",
 Filter(
 Tickets,
// Not(datetype in [DateCreated, DateClosed]) &&
 Not(DateCreated in [Text(Today()), Text(DateAdd(Today(), -2)), Text(DateAdd(Today(), -1))] ||
 DateClosed in [Text(Today()), Text(DateAdd(Today(), -2)), Text(DateAdd(Today(), -1))])
 ),
 "Requests opened today", Filter(Tickets, datetype in DateCreated),
 "High Priority", Filter(Tickets, Priority = "High"),
 "Requests closed today", Filter(Tickets, datetype in DateClosed),
 "Search", Filter(Tickets, MySearchText in Subject || MySearchText in Description),
 "My Requests", Filter(Tickets, Owner = User().FullName),
 Filter(Tickets, type in Status)
)

I know there are delegation issues but we'll manually control the Tickets table to stay under 2K.

Can someone help with adding a sort to this based on DateAscending/DateDescending context? I'm going to add additional sorts as well but I hope I can figure that out after being provided the first solution.

Thanks all.

Hi @DCHammer ,

I have not looked at any of your logic here, but try this structure

With( { _Today: Text(Today()), _Tomorrow: Text(DateAdd(Today(), -2)), _NextDay: Text(DateAdd(Today(), -1)) }, SortByColumns( Filter( Tickets, type = "All" || Switch( type, "Requests older than 3 days", !(datetype in [DateCreated, DateClosed]) && ( ![DateCreated in [_Today, _Tomorrow, _NextDay] || DateClosed in [_Today, _Tomorrow, _NextDay] ), "Requests opened today", datetype in DateCreated, "High Priority", Priority = "High", "Requests closed today", datetype in DateClosed, "Search", MySearchText in Subject || MySearchText in Description, "My Requests", Owner = User().FullName, type in Status ) ), "YourSortColumn", YourSortDirection ) )

I have figured out something that works for most 'type' contexts. If 'type' is On Hold or High Priority, the gallery populates but won't sort. I can't figure out why since the syntax seems to be the same for each.

Apologies for this long ugly section of code. PA does some strange formatting.

Switch( type, "All", SortByColumns( Tickets, "Created", SortOrder ), "Requests older than 3 days", SortByColumns( Filter( Tickets, Not( Created in [ Text(Today()), Text( DateAdd( Today(), -2 ) ), Text( DateAdd( Today(), -1 ) ) ] || field_7 in [ Text(Today()), Text( DateAdd( Today(), -2 ) ), Text( DateAdd( Today(), -1 ) ) ] ) ), "Created", SortOrder ), "Requests opened today", SortByColumns( Filter( Tickets, datetype in Created ), "Created", SortOrder ), "High Priority", SortByColumns( Filter( Tickets, field_10 = "High" ), "Created", SortOrder ), "Requests closed today", SortByColumns( Filter( Tickets, datetype in field_7 ), "field_7", SortOrder ), "Search", SortByColumns( Filter( Tickets, MySearchText in Subject || MySearchText in Description ), "Created", SortOrder ), "My Requests", SortByColumns( Filter( Tickets, Owner = User().FullName ), "Created", SortOrder ), "On hold", SortByColumns( Filter( Tickets, Priority = "On Hold" ), "Created", SortOrder ), SortByColumns( Filter( Tickets, type in Status ), "Created", SortOrder ) )

I figured it out. I should have known. When the same code does different things depending on the data, IT'S THE DATA.

I'm sorting based on Create which is a system populated value rather than the original CreateDate that was in a spreadsheet from whence the SP list came. When the list was created, it set Create equal to Today() just like it should.
So the tests that used test data manually created after the list was generated work. In fact it all works, but since the Create date is the same for some data sets so there is zero change between Ascending and Descending.

Thank you for attending Darren's TED Talk for PowerApps Fools. 😄

@DCHammer ,

I could have gone "the long way" as well - I was trying to give you something more efficient and should work for you. Have you tried this ?
