**Describe the bug:**  
When querying Glide Big Tables the descending and ascending buttons don’t matter. I am guessing the SQL query just never adds the string.

**Expected behavior:**  
The results of the query should change order

**How to replicate:**  
Query a Glide Big Table and try to change order.

@Darren_Murphy Can this be considered a bug, or is it a limitation of Big Tables?

I’m not sure. Interestingly, it works as expected via the API, which suggests that the fact that it doesn’t work in the Data Editor is probably a bug 🤷‍♂️
