    You can pass a "sort order table" to the SortByColumns function, and that will determine how the items are sorted. For example, if you have a collection defined as

    ClearCollect(
     myItems,
     { Name: "Item 1", Status: "Returned" },
     { Name: "Item 2", Status: "Open" },
     { Name: "Item 3", Status: "Returned" },
     { Name: "Item 4", Status: "In Progress" },
     { Name: "Item 5", Status: "Fulfilled" },
     { Name: "Item 6", Status: "Open" },
     { Name: "Item 7", Status: "Returned" },
     { Name: "Item 8", Status: "In Progress" });

    Then the following expression will sort the items according to your requirement:

    SortByColumns(
     myItems,
     "Status",
     ["In Progress", "Returned", "Open", "Fulfilled"])

    See the screenshot below for an example of a gallery with this expression:

    Hope this helps!

    Hello @CarlosFigueira 

     

    How can I combine this with filter?

    You can filter the collection prior to sorting it. See the modified code below for an example:

    SortByColumns(
     Filter(myItems, EndsWith(Name, "2")),
     "Status",
     ["In Progress", "Returned", "Open", "Fulfilled"])

    Hope this helps!
