Specifically for Inline List \> Options \> Group By I would like there to be an ORDER BY selection for defining the sort order of the Group headings similar to how the “SORT DATA” option is configured like so:

![sort-order-option](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/6/e/6ed9119f6033a789b59985ef3a5a0b3e8478b1e5.jpeg)

That way under Inline List \> Options it would look something like this:

SORT DATA

- Sort by \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ in \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ order

GROUP DATA

- Group by \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ in \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ order

I’m currently working on a list of “Work Items” (aka Tasks) grouped by “Project” and I would like the initial view in the app to modify the query output to the Inline List something like` ORDER BY projects.project DESC, workitems.workitem ASC;` .

A bonus would be to allow [in app control](https://community.glideapps.com/t/in-app-sorting/5004) of both the list and grouping sort orders similar to this announcement:

> [@twisted\_rightwards\_arrows In-app sorting](https://community.glideapps.com/t/in-app-sorting/5004):
>
> You can now let your app users choose how list screens should be sorted: To add in-app sort to your app, go to Features and add one or more columns to “In-app sort”: Let us know what you think!
