Sort Combo box/drop down options in alphabetical order

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 105

Hi

 

I have two filter boxes (one combo box and one drop down). Both columns are working correctly but the results are appearing in random order.

 

Any tips to arrange these alphabetically? I have tried using the 'Sort,...,ascending' function in various ways to no success so far. Thanks.

 

Group combo box - Items = Distinct(Documents, Group)

Brand drop down - Items = 

Distinct(
Filter(
Documents,
If ('Group filter'.Selected.Result = "All", true, Group= 'Group filter'.Selected.Result)
),
Brand
)

    Applying the Sort function on 'Result' should work..

    Sort(Distinct(Documents, Group),
     Result,
     Ascending
    )

     

    Sort(
     Distinct(
     Filter(
     Documents,
     If ('Group filter'.Selected.Result = "All", true, Group= 'Group filter'.Selected.Result)
     ),
     Brand
     ),
    Result,
    Ascending
    )

    Hello,

     

    I tried Sort and sortbycolumn. but the combo box is not filtering based on alphabetical order.

     

    Sort(SortByColumns(FirstN(Choices([@Analyst_CG_PMD_team]),49),"Value"),SortOrder.Ascending)

     

    Can anyone help me to solve this.

    For anyone reading this in 2024, I believe the function has changed and instead of Result, SortOrder.Ascending or .Descending has to be called.
