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? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/2/7/27cdca8371be5d8b9474d555fe498df9f80157fd.png) Thanks Andrea ---

Hi @Andrea_Marchisio Are you connecting to the sorted view? ---

Yes, I also specified which view to use … but the result is always random. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/e/7/e755bb16131226034ad2299e64941615892f93f6.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/a/0/a0d9ebea053678cb970eccf6d980e0a0551e7b0b.png) ---

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

Sorry, follow the whole block … ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/5/b/5b951148a6bf7c780ade61f47834e682863a0efa.png) ---

@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](http://community.thunkable.com/t/asynchronous-blocks-within-loops/33524) ---

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 ![Screen Shot 2021-12-28 at 1.45.05 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/e/e/ee6d26eb8da327a80becab159969b872aa1f7d30.png) if you want to have more than 1 sorting criteria, increment the 0 to a 1 and then 2 and so on. ---
