    Hi @gautmish

     

    You should be able to use the SortByColumns function to do this.

     

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/maker/canvas-apps/functions/function-sort

     

    The formula would look something like this:

     

    SortByColumns( YourSharePointList, 
 "Product", Ascending, 
 "Section", Ascending, 
 "DisplaySequence", Ascending 
)

    Try everything again but this time leave out the LookUp Column. Does it work? PowerApps and LookUp columns are not friends and there are a lot of functions that don't work with LookUp columns, this may be another one I didn't know about.

    Hi @Shanescows,

     

    I collected all the value into a collection and applied sortcolumn functionality and it worked fine .

     

    Thanks
