I have multiple Dropdowns, one of which is FullName.

I am trying to Sort(Filter...SortOrder.Ascending) my Collection in the Dropdow but it is not working.

The formula is not sorting by first or last name in the FullName Dropdown.

The are areas in the list where it appears some sorting if being done, but the first 10 or so are not sorted at all, and the last
Item starts with a 'B' (and should be near the top of the list).

There are two 'Role', "Technician" or "Subcontractor". The Dropdown should filter and sort A - Z based on the Role choice.

What am I missing?

My Tech / Contractor Name Dropdown formula -

Sort(Filter(Technician_and_Contractor_Collection,Role = Role_Dropdown.Selected.Value).Full_Name,

SortOrder.Descending)

Hi Phineas,

Try:

Sort(Filter(Technician_and_Contractor_Collection,Role = Role_Dropdown.Selected.Value),Full_Name,SortOrder.Descending)

Or

SortByColumns(Filter(Technician_and_Contractor_Collection,Role = Role_Dropdown.Selected.Value),"Full_Name",SortOrder.Descending)
