Power Apps - Problems with Sorting Drop Down

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by CU29070919-2
I am currently using power apps. I am utilizing a vertical gallery and I have also included a sort drop down. The sort drop down has the following items" ContentViews, ContentRating and ContentUploadDate. I want to be able to sort by each item in descending order. I used the below formula and it seems to only work for one at a time. When I tried to include for content rating and content upload date. It shows error. When I replace the contentviews with contentrating or upload date. It works. But I want to be able to sort by either of the 3. When I include the 3 items for the sorting it doesn't work. I would kindly appreciate some help. 
 
Sort(
Filter(
    FinanceContentTables,
    (IsBlank(drpTransformationArea.Selected.Value) || 
    'Transformation Area' = drpTransformationArea.Selected.Value)
    && (IsBlank(drpTechnologyplatform.Selected.Value) || 
    'Technology Platform' = drpTechnologyplatform.Selected.Value)
    && (IsBlank(drpTechnologydetails.Selected.Value) || 
    'Technology Details' = drpTechnologydetails.Selected.Value)
    && (IsBlank(drpFinanceprocess.Selected.Value) || 
    FinanceProcess = drpFinanceprocess.Selected.Value)
    && (IsBlank(drpFinanceOrganization.Selected.Value) || 
    FinanceOrganization = drpFinanceOrganization.Selected.Value)
    && (IsBlank(drpComptencylevel.Selected.Value) || 
    CompetencyLevel = drpComptencylevel.Selected.Value)
    && (IsBlank(drpContenttype.Selected.Value) || 
    ContentType = drpContenttype.Selected.Value)
),
ContentViews,               
    If(drpSort.Selected.Value = "ContentViews", SortOrder.Descending)
)

    Hi,
     
    You talk about an error but do not share what that was.
     
    please use Code snippets as it helps readability
     
    also a picture would help to make sure we are clear on what you want.
     
    1. When you say you want to Sort by any of the 3, or all, are you saying you want to have 1 or 2 or 3 Sort columns at the same time?
     
    Its all standard stuff, so we need to see the error you get so we can tell you what you are doing wrong, as Sorting by multiple columns is documented clearly.

    Thanks for your response and suggestion FLMike. As shown in the image below, i am trying to sort the gallery based on contentviews, contentuploaddate and content ratings. I have a dataverse table I am utilizing for the gallery. When I use the formula below for Content Views, it works:
     
    Sort(
    Filter(
        FinanceContentTables,
        (IsBlank(drpTransformationArea.Selected.Value) || 
        'Transformation Area' = drpTransformationArea.Selected.Value)
        && (IsBlank(drpTechnologyplatform.Selected.Value) || 
        'Technology Platform' = drpTechnologyplatform.Selected.Value)
        && (IsBlank(drpTechnologydetails.Selected.Value) || 
        'Technology Details' = drpTechnologydetails.Selected.Value)
        && (IsBlank(drpFinanceprocess.Selected.Value) || 
        FinanceProcess = drpFinanceprocess.Selected.Value)
        && (IsBlank(drpFinanceOrganization.Selected.Value) || 
        FinanceOrganization = drpFinanceOrganization.Selected.Value)
        && (IsBlank(drpComptencylevel.Selected.Value) || 
        CompetencyLevel = drpComptencylevel.Selected.Value)
        && (IsBlank(drpContenttype.Selected.Value) || 
        ContentType = drpContenttype.Selected.Value)
    ),
    ContentViews,               
        If(drpSort.Selected.Value = "ContentViews", SortOrder.Descending)
    )
     
     
    However, when I include the upload date and content rating as shown below, it states (we can't evaluate your formula because of a type error.
     
    Sort(
        Filter(
        FinanceContentTables,
        (IsBlank(drpTransformationArea.Selected.Value) ||
        'Transformation Area' = drpTransformationArea.Selected.Value)
        && (IsBlank(drpTechnologyplatform.Selected.Value) ||
        'Technology Platform' = drpTechnologyplatform.Selected.Value)
        && (IsBlank(drpTechnologydetails.Selected.Value) ||
        'Technology Details' = drpTechnologydetails.Selected.Value)
        && (IsBlank(drpFinanceprocess.Selected.Value) ||
        FinanceProcess = drpFinanceprocess.Selected.Value)
        && (IsBlank(drpFinanceOrganization.Selected.Value) ||
        FinanceOrganization = drpFinanceOrganization.Selected.Value)
        && (IsBlank(drpComptencylevel.Selected.Value) ||
        CompetencyLevel = drpComptencylevel.Selected.Value)
        && (IsBlank(drpContenttype.Selected.Value) ||
        ContentType = drpContenttype.Selected.Value)
    ),
    ContentViews,              
        If(
            drpSort.Selected.Value = "ContentViews", SortOrder.Descending,
    ContentRating,
        If(
            drpSort.Selected.Value = "ContentRating", SortOrder.Descending
     
    ContentUploadDate
        If(
            drpSort.Selected.Value = "ContentUploadDate", SortOrder.Descending
    )
        ))
