Introduced filtering and sorting on data sources .

The power of this is really in being able to to filter and sort data sources using blocks. It looks like it’s possible to filter but not sort. Am I correct? Is that feature going to be added soon?

Also, when will the documentation for the new filter and sort be completed? For example, what would I connect to the update filter block?

And why is there a ≥ symbol there?

Hello @tatiang
Thanks for your feedback.
For now, you can set the sorting that you need on each filter view.

Could you please share more information about the feature you would like to build using a sort block?

We will add more examples in our docs as soon as possible.

The “update filter for” block has the conditions that have already been set on the selected view.
It can have more than one condition and the value is based on the data in each column.

The refresh block is needed if the filter view is connected to a data viewer.

Here is an example:

Okay, now I get it. Thank you for that visual example!
