Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hello!

I want to sort my columns by number but it goes like this -> 1 10 11 12 13

How could I fix this?

    Fixed using the Sort + value function instead of SortByColumn

    @Anonymous 

    Using SORT + VALUE will cause delegation warnings once your dataset exceeds 2,000 rows.  Its best to address this another way.

     

    Can you please share your current code and I will advise?

    Here is the code I used @mdevaney : 

    Sort(
     Filter(
     ProjectLijsten,
     Order = First(
     Split(
     Gallery1.Selected.Result,
     "-"
     )
     ).Result
     ),
     Value(Subordernummer)
    )

    Thanks for sharing your code.  Is Subordernummer a Text data type in your datasource?  If yes, it should be changed to number.

    It is a text column, it does not really matter though, the end result will never have more items than 20 @mdevaney

    Hi @Anonymous 

    Just a shortcut

     

     

    Value(Text)=(Text)*1

     

     

    FYI, you can multiply a text value *1 and it will convert it to a number. I use this shortcut frequently in formulas in my apps.
