Hello,

A small question is there a way to create a new row in data sources and show this new row as the first row on the data list viewer?  
I was only able to add it as the next item on the list.

thank you!

If you look at the blocks for AirTable, DataSource, or LocalDB, you will see that there are blocks that you can use to get a list of column fields, or a list of all rows, or use a loop to get the necessary records from a data table. After receiving this list, you can sort it.

Data Source also has such blocks, but for some reason they are not always displayed in the palette. But this is a question for developers.
