I have a custom list as follows:

I would like to sort the data based on the above fields during the initial display stage. How should it be set up?

Hi @shiz ,

go to user preferences

and create a new user preference

with name yourtablename.db.order

value with your field name (in this case it's module field backend name)

replace <table_name> with your table name and <field_name> with your field name

and set system = ture

if you find any other user preference with name where user is populated delete those 

Please mark my answer as helpful/correct if it resolves your query.

Create 2 new entries on the user preference table [sys_user_preference]

[table name].db.order - Field name used for sort

[table name].db.order.direction - DESC/ASC

Mark them as system and delete any other same entries present for your custom table.

What I want is sorting based on data rather than module.

@shiz 

you can have a default sort on table list via user preferences and it will apply to all users

But if later user changes that then it will sort as per that user's preference and will be overridden.

check this

Control Sort order for list
