Me again, I have some code here that I am filtering and putting in the gallery, but now I want to sort the gallery by the date column in descending order (so the earliest to oldest) . Here is what I have come up with. The Data type for the Date column is Date and Time, with a Date only format.

Right now, the gallery shows as:

7/8/2022

1/5/2023

12/15/2022.

The expected result should be:

1/5/2023

12/15/2022

7/8/2022

Clear(Exa);
Collect(
 Exa,
 
 Sort(Filter(
 'db.Di',
 L1 = varL1 && L2 = varL2 && L3 = varL3 && L4 = varL4 && Source = "Ins"
 ), Date, Descending)
);

Hi @Jeffclark ,

Apart from Date being a bad name for a field (it is a Reserved Word in Power Apps), if the field is Date/Time, this should sort in the order you have specified

ClearCollect( Exa, Sort( Filter( 'db.Di', L1 = varL1 && L2 = varL2 && L3 = varL3 && L4 = varL4 && Source = "Ins" ), Date, Descending ) );

As a test, put this as the Items of a Gallery and see what you receive.

Sort( Filter( 'db.Di', L1 = varL1 && L2 = varL2 && L3 = varL3 && L4 = varL4 && Source = "Ins" ), Date, Descending )

@WarrenBelz you're the best. I also see where on my side I was going wrong. In the items I was using a different collection that didnt contain the sort.
