 **Feature Request**
There are quite a few posts over the years by users wanting to be able to reverse sort a Data Viewer List (or Grid). This is useful in the case where you are adding a new row to the data source and want that row to appear at the top of the DVL with the rest in chronological order. A simple checkbox could allow for reverse setting in the properties panel.
Ideally, it would be possible to sort the DVL by _any_ field in the data source.
I realize there are workarounds for this but I still think it would be valuable to have a reverse sort option, especially for local data sources where there isn’t an obvious way to sort the rows.

I would love to have this as a feature. This or the ability to insert rows at the top or anywhere in the table.

I agree - being able to sort a DVL by a data source field in ascending or descending order would avoid workarounds. Is there any chance that this could be provided in the short term?

Still hoping for this feature. 🙏
