Hello, I am a bit confused one aspect of the new UI -
I am in my ‘Internal Controls’ module, and I simply want to sort some columns alphabetically.
I would expect that I could click the column header and it will sort the table on that column.
But that doesn’t seem to be a the way it works…
There is a ‘Sort’ button at the top right.
I can click in there and ‘Add sort’ - so it gives me a list of columns (not all of them /shrugs/ - but the one I wanted was there - I tick it - so far so good) -
How do I then make the table sort on that column? I am baffled! 🙂 Couldn’t see anything about it in the tutorial video.

Hmm - I think I figured it out - there was already a default sort in the module (order of creation), and that seemed to be over-riding my alphabetical sort on a different column.
However, even with that gone, Eramba’s idea of alphabetical order seems very different to my own… 🤨

Could you please share some screenshots so we can take a closer look?
