I want to sort the grouped list in descending order by number.

[bonsai]

I would like to be able to freely configure the sort order for a grouped list.
Ideally, I’d at least like to sort by number in descending order...
Does anyone know how to do this?

When there is a large number of records, I want the most recent record to appear at the top.

@bonsai It looks like the group sort only supports only three options. Tried changing the sort using the URL but it didn't work.

Hi @bonsai ,

I tried to reproduce the issue in my PDI, but I couldn't achieve the expected behavior. I grouped the Incident table by the Number field, and it only displayed the Number (Ascending) option. I also tried modifying the URL, but that did not work. Additionally, I checked the Sort (A to Z) and Sort (Z to A) options by right-clicking the column header, but neither produced the desired result. I also checked system property if I can find anything there but no luck.

Based on my testing, I don't think this is possible through the standard list functionality.

Please mark my answer correct and helpful if this works for you

Thanks and Regards,
