Yeah, I’m not sure what you could do there. One wish I have is a way to assign a rank order dynamically to rows as a workaround for this workaround. Otherwise my method is kind of limited. I think the Swipe layout is not exactly what most of us expect it to be (a way to linearly move between rows). It’s more of a Tinder style swipe, where swipe direction calls different actions and the swipe date just moves it to the bottom of the list. Kind of a one and done. Because of that and a couple of other reasons, I really don’t think swipe is very useful in a lot of cases where people want to use it.

If you can think of some sort of action that would set the row id of the previous or next row (maybe a set column action), then you could still use a similar method to what I did with a single filtered row. Otherwise I think a lot of us are trying to make something work differently from how it was designed to work.

Swiping left or right only moves in one direction…forward. You can’t move backward to the cards you had just swiped. You have to make a complete rotation through all of them to get back to the one card you wanted to swipe back to. That’s why I went with the single row method. A single row will only swipe to itself, but additional actions …

Or by specifying a grouping value, so each group has its own unique numbering. Then within that sheet or grouping, I’d like to specify a column to rank by, either: Numerically Alphabetically Date Order Etc. Then finally the ability to choose to number in: Ascending order Descending order I was thinking of ways to build this into an…
