Sort any column — the way you'd actually expect.
Click the sort icon in any column header to sort ascending or descending. Number columns sort numerically. Date columns sort chronologically. Empty cells sink to the bottom, always.
Benefits
Numeric sort for number columns
A Number or Currency column sorted ascending puts 2 before 10 — not 10 before 2. Tablesmit reads the column type and sorts by value, not by character string.
Alphabetical sort for text columns
Text columns sort A-Z ascending and Z-A descending, using standard locale-aware collation. Handles names, categories, and labels correctly.
Empty cells always go to the bottom
Regardless of sort direction, empty cells are placed at the bottom of the column. Your data stays together; gaps sink out of the way.
Sort is non-destructive
Sorting reorders rows in the view. The original row order is preserved in the table state. Clicking the sort icon a third time clears the sort and restores original order.
How it works
Click the sort icon in a column header
Each column header shows a sort icon. Click it once to sort ascending — an up arrow appears in the header.
Click again for descending
Click the same icon again to sort descending. The arrow flips. Numbers go high-to-low. Text goes Z-to-A.
Click a third time to clear
Click once more to remove the sort and restore the original row order.
Use cases
- Sorting a price column in ascending order to rank products from cheapest to most expensive
- Alphabetically sorting a name column in a contact list for easier reading
- Sorting a date column chronologically to arrange events in order
- Sorting a quantity column descending to see which items are most in stock
