    Hi @omareisa ,

    Something like this

    SortByColumns(
     AddColumns(
     Filter(
     'Approvals test forms',
     StartsWith(
     Title,
     TextSearchBox1.Text
     )
     ),
     "SortOrder",
     Switch(
     Status,
     "New",
     1,
     "Pending",
     2,
     "Approved",
     3,
     "Rejected",
     4
     )
     ),
     "SortOrder"
    )

    That did not work, I believe there is a bigger problem in my code which I can not seem to find, 

    Switch(
    Status,
    "New,
    1,
    "Pending",
    2,
    "Approved",
    3,
    "Rejected",
    4
    )
    ),
    "SortOrder"
    )

    all of these are errors

    Also please note, the type of column Status is (Choice) in SharePoint

    Hi @omareisa ,

    If Status is a Choice column, you should need

    SortByColumns(
     AddColumns(
     Filter(
     'Approvals test forms',
     StartsWith(
     Title,
     TextSearchBox1.Text
     )
     ),
     "SortOrder",
     Switch(
     Status.Value,
     "New",
     1,
     "Pending",
     2,
     "Approved",
     3,
     "Rejected",
     4
     )
     ),
     "SortOrder"
    )
