Hi 

 

There is [Get items] from share point action in my Flow which failed due to below error.

The list of share point has 5000+ items, but if I remove Order By from below action, the error will not happen.

Is there any other action to replace order by of Get Items?

    Hey Mate @Anonymous 

     

    The alternative to Get items will be SharePoint HTTP action - You can find details at - https://www.tachytelic.net/2020/04/use-rest-api-power-automate-get-over-5000-items-from-sharepoint/

    Hi @Anonymous ,

     

    You could turn on this setting.

    Probably a little late, but if you index the colum you are sorting on, it allows for sorting for lists over 5000

    Indexing the column you sort on and enabling Pagination helps but if the list is too large you also have to specify a Filter Query. If you want all items returned you can use something that will never be false, ie: Created ne null

     

    If you don't do this you will still get the "The attempted operation is prohibited because it exceeds the list view threshold" error
