AirTable Sort data

[Andrea_Marchisio]

Hello,
I display my data from a specific view in AirTable (where I set a specific Sorted) … instead why are the data shown at random?

Thanks
Andrea

Hi @Andrea_Marchisio

Are you connecting to the sorted view?

[Andrea_Marchisio]

Yes,
I also specified which view to use … but the result is always random.

Hello,

You did not show the whole block, so it is difficult to say something, but my project sorting works in Live.

[Andrea_Marchisio]

Sorry, follow the whole block …

@Andrea_Marchisio - your blocks look like they should work…I’ll have to create a MWE to test this for myself on Monday.

In the meantime, just FYI, the List blocks contain a block that will allow you to do the sorting on the app side.

Сlone block - is an asynchronous block. You are using an asynchronous block in the loop, but it does not guarantee the correct order of the data. Do you realize what a synchronous block is different from the asynchronous?

See the order in which records in block rows.

To synchronize asynchronous blocks you need to call each subsequent induction unit to produce after the previous one.

See sample from @Mark - Asynchronous Blocks within Loops

Not to drag up a super old topic or anything but…

I discovered how to sort today via the Airtable API and thought it relevant to share here

notice the relevant section

if you want to have more than 1 sorting criteria, increment the 0 to a 1 and then 2 and so on.
