I have an in-app filter in which High, Medium, and Low are the options. However, the filter displays them in alphabetical order: High, Low, Medium. How can I fix it so that it displays them in the logical order: High, Medium, Low?

As far as I know, there is no way to manipulate that. You can create a custom filter though to set it up as you’d like

Thank you, Tuzin. I do not know how to set up a custom filter to do that, and I cannot find documentation about how to do it. Can you help me get started, or is there documentation I can read?

Instead of numbers, I added a colored circle emoji for each option: red for High, orange for Medium, yellow for Low. I discovered that the in-app filter by defau…

Luck is part of it, thanks for sharing, that’s a nice trick.

That’s awesome! Something that you would never come up with when you’re too experienced and are used to firing on all cylinders :laughing: Thank you for the trick!

I’m sure the info that you provided will be useful for a future project. I am very new to Glide, and I’m going to create a sandbox app where I can try using the custom filters. Thanks again!
