I'm working on a nested gallery using SharePoint data. The data is sorted by Regional Office and it is working fine. The issue is that I need to sort by a second column (State). Both the Regional Office and the State are choice columns.

Sorting / Grouping by Regional Office works fine:

SortByColumns(
 GroupBy(
 AddColumns(
 Filter(
 'Catalog',
 Year = "2021"
 ),
 "RO",
 'Regional Office'.Value
 ),
 "RO",
 "GrouppedROs"
 ),
 "RO",
 Ascending
)

When I try to add a second sorting parameter (State), it fails:

SortByColumns(
 GroupBy(
 AddColumns(
 Filter(
 'Catalog',
 Year = "2021"
 ),
 "RO",
 'Regional Office'.Value,
 "TheState",
 'State'.Value
 ),
 "RO",
 "GrouppedROs"
 ),
 "RO",
 Ascending,
 "TheState",
 Ascending
)

I get an error that says in part that "TheState" column doesn't exist:

I have the feeling that all the issue is that I'm creating or placing TheState column in the wrong place. Any idea what am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance.

Re: Sort Gallery by multiple choice columns

Thanks for the suggestion @Ashwin7104, but as far as I know I have to use AddColumns also, otherwise how would I define "RO" and the 'TheState". I use AddColumns to define Regional Office.value, as "RO", and "TheState" from State.value?

Hey @emfuentes27 ,

Try the below code - I have used ShowColumns instead of Add Columns to ensure TheState exists.
GroupBy( SortByColumns( ShowColumns( Filter( 'Catalog', Year = "2021" ), "RO", "TheState" ), "RO", Ascending, "TheState", Ascending ), "RO", "GrouppedROs" )
