Dropdown list not sorting by SharePoint People column

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Hello,

 

Can anyone help me how to sort a dropdown list based on People field?

 

Dropdown is linked to SharePoint field field using the following code

Sort(Distinct(PendingWith.DisplayName),Descending)

 

If I change it to 

Sort(Distinct(PendingWith.DisplayName),PendingWith,Descending)

it doesnt work. Can someone help correct it?

 

Thanks.

    Distinct returns a column named Result, so try the formula like this:

     

    Sort(Distinct(PendingWith.DisplayName),Result,Descending)

    Hi @Anonymous ,

     

    Is PendingWith the column name of this person and group field? If so, the formula should be:

    Sort(Distinct(ListName,PendingWith.DisplayName),Result,Descending)

     Regards,

    Mona
