Posted on by omareisa

I have an issue when I want to sort the items by The Status in this order New, Pending, Approved, Rejected.
I Tried every possible input found on the Web, but nothing seems to be working.

Please find the attached, to have a better understanding of the problem. and please be specific when answering as I am a new user to this program

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" )

Please click Accept as solution if my post helped you solve your issue. This will help others find it more readily. It also closes the item. If the content was useful in other ways, please consider giving it Thumbs Up.

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

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" )
