Actually yeah - very good point. And this is something that’s also occurred to me recently. I do a lot of that as well (building dynamic tables using joined lists), and just a day or two ago I was wondering what I would do when I hit a case where I need to order the data in the table (I haven’t yet).

I haven’t put much thought into it, but I’m not sure there would be a solution for that? I guess if the Glide Table is linked to a GSheet you could sort the GSheet and then sync it, but that wouldn’t help if you need dynamic sorting.

Sorting through relations would be ideal - perhaps a candidate for this weeks live coding session? 😉
