Remove Default Collection Sorting

Posted on by Jeff_VS

Hi Community

I have created below collection but it seems by default it gets sorted alphabetically. How do I keep same column order as created (i.e. Column 2, 3 and 1)?

ClearCollect(
    MyCollection,
    {
        Column2: "test2",
        Column3: "test3",
        Column1: "test1"
    }
);

Below image shows how this is currently coming up. I need this to show as Column2 | Column3 | Column1 same order as indicated above.

Note: I have used ShowColumns function to specify the order but it keeps coming back sorted alphabetically.

Any idea how to override the default collection sorting?

Thanks

Hi,

Try Storing the Values in a Collection first then try like below

ClearCollect(
CollectionDuplicate,
ShowColumns(
MyCollection,
"Column2",
"Column3",
"Column1"
)
);

Hi @Ram

I did try that before but still same result. I actually asked Copilot and that was one of the suggestions to use ShowColumns but as I mentioned in my original post, I had tried that and it did not work.

No matter what I do It seems the end result is always that collection will be sorted alphabetically.

Any other idea?

Thanks

Jeff
