How to control the ORDER that the GROUPS appear in in an INLINE list

Hi: I am quite new to Glide.

I have an inline list of Sets of questions relating to a course. These Sets are related to particular days of the course. There is a column in the database numbering each Set by day (1,2,3 etc). One day may have many Sets of questions. I have grouped the list by this day column. The grouping is OK but the order of the groups is not (eg day 5 may appear above day 2. Because of the way the questions are added to the course later Sets may be added relating to an earlier day (eg Set 30 may be day 6 and Set 40 day 4).

I want days to appear in order: day 1 above day 2 etc.

Does anyone know how to do this?

Thanks

Paul

Create a template column that joins the day number and set number, and use this to sort the list.
Keep it grouped by day.

Excellent. Thanks very much. Done it.

One other question: within the day the Sets of questions are numbered: Set 1 / Set 2 / up to about Set 50 now. So the Template I have done is correct for the day order but within the day Set 20 will appear above Set 3. This does not affect the function (because the Sets are all independent) but aesthetically looks bad. I now realise I could change the set numbers to Set 01 etc which would work (I think) but I would have to change hundreds of quesions.

Is there a simpler way? If not - it’s not a big problem - major issue solved.

Thanks

Add a Math column that multiplies your Set column by 1. This will convert it to a number. Then use that math column in your template.

Thanks. I will try that. Very useful.
