3. Tap Add Sort Condition.

Success Criteria

• What you should see: records in the data table are reordered by the selected field.
• What you can do next: add another sort condition or return to the table to review the result.

Tips While Using

• Common mistake: if you choose a field but do not tap Apply, the sort result will not be applied.
• Environment note: the current data table must already contain sortable fields and records.

2. Set Multiple Sort Conditions

1. Open the Sort panel by using the same path.
2. Tap Add Sort Condition.
3. Set the first field and its sort order.
4. Tap Add Sort Condition again.
5. Select a second field or more fields, and set each one to ascending or descending order.
6. Tap OK.
7. Tap Apply to save all sort conditions.

Success Criteria

• What you should see: records are sorted in priority order across multiple conditions.
• What you can do next: return to the Sort panel to adjust condition order or edit rules.

Tips While Using

• Common mistake: when fields are similar, it is easy to overlook how the order of conditions affects the final result.
• Environment note: multiple sort conditions are supported for more complex data organization.

3. Keep Sort Rules Active

Entry path: Bottom toolbar → Filter → Sort → Always sort by the following rules

1. Tap Filter on the bottom toolbar.
2. Open the Sort panel and set the sort conditions you need first.
3. Turn on Always sort by the following rules.
4. Tap Apply.
5. Add a new record later and save the data table.
6. Check whether the new record returns to the expected position automatically.

Success Criteria

• What you should see: after saving, newly added records are reordered by the saved sort rules.
• What you can do next: continue adding, editing, or filtering records.

Tips While Using

• Common mistake: turning on this option before setting any sort condition will not produce a useful result.
• Environment note: new records appear at the end by default; after this option is enabled and the table is saved, records return to the sorted position automatically.
