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.
