Hello all,  
I’m trying to filter this list, but I need to filter it not by A-Z order  
I want to choose the way the list show’s up, I tried to assign numbers but without success

Do you mean you want to filter by another column?

No, I want to filter with the same column but  
I want it to be in a different order.  
right now it’s going a-b-c-d,  
I want to decide the order

My thinking is you can add a template column that adds the order of the things you want to filter.

Let’s say:

1 - A  
2 - B  
3 - C

And then filter by that column.

I mean you can try an If Then Else column to add a number prefix to those strings, then use that ITE column as the column to filter.
