Sorting? Hi I’m completely new to this, haven’t even started, just trying to find out if what I want is possible. To sort a column in spreadsheet you have to get the menu from the top. Is it possible to input a number from the app into the column. And then do a sort from the app? Thanks

You can sort a list in your app using any column.

If you are trying to sort the view in the data editor within glide, then that’s not possible, but at the same time it’s not necessary to sort the data in the data editor. Sorting on the front end of the app is the way to go.
