Feature request: Use the Ascending and Descending option in the Tables page as a collaborator

Hi, there,

I understand that to sort a column, you can can click the arrow at the top of the column, and you should get a drop down menu that gives you the options: ascending/descending, etc.

The problem is, I am not getting any menu to drop down when I click that arrow.

Help!

Peace,

Kelly

Hi Kelly,

Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. I am sorry you are having trouble with this. If you are referring to the Submission Table, can you provide us with the link to the table that did not show you the option to sort the data in Ascending/Descending order?

Once we hear back from you, we can move forward with a solution.

Thanks. Here you go: https://www.jotform.com/tables/232174871737160

Hi Kelly,

Thanks for getting back to us. It seems like the table was shared with you. Can you take a screenshot of what’s happening and send it to us? This guide will show you how to do that. You can also ask the form owner to revoke your access to the table and grant you access to the table again. Let me show you how o share the Table:

1. On the Jotform Tables page, click on the Share button.

2. Click on Share Settings and select Private Table, so only people you invite will be able to see your Tables. You can also set the default role of the invitation link as either Read-Only or Collaborator. Let me explain the difference between those:

• Read Only means that only people you invite will be able to see your Tables.
• Collaborator means that anyone you invite will be able to see and edit the data, but they won't be able to adjust or change the table settings.

3. Now, use the Generated Link or the Invite by Email feature to invite people.

Reach out again if you have any other questions.

My cursor clicks on the arrow at the top of the column, but no menu pulls down. The owner of the table experiences the same thing. Screen shot below, or coming soon.

Hi kelly323,

Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. I tried the Ascending and Descending feature on my end and it worked with no issue.

If the issue still persists, on the form owners end, please have them reach out to us so we can investigate the Table on their Jotform account directly.

As for your access as the collaborator, unfortunately this is not currently an available feature for collaborators. While the feature you’re looking for isn’t currently available, rest assured we’re always working to add new services and features to Jotform. I've gone ahead and escalated your request to our Developers. When or if it's implemented depends on their workload, how viable it is, and how many other users request it.

If there are any updates, we’ll circle back to this thread and let you know.
