In tables, I have to scroll down hundreds of rows to see the newest member.  
This is a FR to give us the opportunity to choose this.

For those unaware, as a workaround, you can make a hidden table component in your app and sort it however you need to.

I’m voting for this feature request because I don’t like implementing the workaround every time I need to only see the last row once to verify something.

Yeah, it seems silly that the tables in the data editor seem to be randomized and are unable to be sorted…

The inability to sort data tables is the single most reason why some of my clients don’t want to switch from Google sheets.

This is actually helpful and will work for now, but I’d rather have sortable data tables in the back so I don’t have to have a bunch of extra screens cluttering up my layout editor.
