We’re seeing a lot of users using HotJar try to sort the table blocks by clicking on the header of the table column. This seems like a pretty native function that should exist, so I’d like to request a native sorting by column feature.

Adding a strong upvote for this feature.
Just spent a day building our internal portal with Softr and came to learn at launch that this basic, native functionality is missing. Everything else about Softr has been great but mind boggling this hasn’t been implemented over the past 1.5years when it’s simple to do and native to Airtable/Google Sheets. Some of our users want to sort records alphabetically and others want to sort greatest to least.
Unfortunately at this time we are unable to move forward with Softr because users cannot sort by columns. Hope it’s implemented soon!

Adding big upvote for this!
Any update on this topic?
thanks!
We are in a hard position about this. We wanted to do it however there is an ongoing effort to improve the Block UI like 100x 
and now we are debating to this in the current items or just in the new versions. I will update you early next week.
Let us know, the feature is needed. Looking forward to updated block UI.
Hey Arthur,
Big upvote from my site too. Have fun in the team-offsite.
Big upvote on this as well. Would really benefit from sorting functionality.
big upvote on this too. Lots of users asking us for this feature
@artur how is this tracking?
Upvote! very usefull feature
Still not implemented in 2024. This is the reason why we’re not moving forward with Softr.
Hi @Tim sorry to hear that we couldn’t bring this feature to you in time.
Like Artur previously mentioned, we’ve been working on a rebuild of our blocks to improve them ten-fold, and this feature upgrade is slated to be among them. Admittedly, this update has taken us much longer than we thought, which has delayed this timeline for this specific feature.
Nonetheless, this is something we are still working on, and I’ll keep everyone updated here once it’s live (finally!). Otherwise, I hope you all have been enjoying our list of many other upgrades we’ve been making to the product!

Anything on the horizon @Jjenglert?
Also wondering why this is such a difficult feature to implement tbh.
Don’t all data source api’s have sorting as a basic parameter option by default?
I understand where you’re coming from. In hindsight, we probably could have delivered this earlier, but other features have taken priority.
And in most recent, we didn’t want to implement it into our old table block as we’re currently rebuilding the new table block and wanted it to be included there.
But rebuilding the table block takes much longer to do in general. So have no fear it is coming, and it will be delivered with a significantly better table block as well.
Thanks for the explanation, and it is reasonable to do this with the release of the redesigned table block of course.
Guess it’s my bad, I thought the new table block was already released a while ago, but that was the list block. Hope it’s coming to that block as well btw.

Don’t worry about it. Seeing how far this thread goes back, it would have been more ideal to get this out sooner, but unfortunately that’s the way this feature has worked out.
Hi there! I see “Table Block Redesign” on your public roadmap. Is there a way to see more detail on what features that release will entail? Trying to determine if I should do a Airtable table embed or wait till the table block redesign is shipped. Thanks!
Hey @kaitlinkash !
The beta version of the new table block is already here, please feel free to check.
Best,
