    Ist es möglich im Widget Configurable List die eingegebenen Werte im Frontend zu sortieren?

    Oder gibt es ein Widget, dass das ermöglicht?

    Hi Hans

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. Unfortunately, our German Support agents are busy helping other Jotform users at the moment. I'll try to assist you in English using Google Translate, but you can reply in whichever language you feel comfortable using. Or, if you'd prefer to receive support in German, let us know and we can have them do that. But, keep in mind that you'd have to wait until they're available again.

    Now, let me help you with your question. I understand you want to sort values in the configurable list. Could you please explain in a bit more detail exactly what are you trying to achieve? Also, It would help us to understand what’s happening if you could take a screenshot and send it to us. We have a guide here explaining how to do that. Please ensure to provide us with your Form URL in your reply so we can test it and help you with a solution.

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

    In the configurable list I would like to have two date fields (date from / date to) and then three textareas . This list fields should then be sorted by date either automatically or manually.

    Hi Hans,

    Thanks for getting back to us. You can easily set up a configurable list with the requirement you have sent. Let me show you how:

    1. In Form Builder, click on +Add Form Element.
    2. Under the Widget Tab search for Configurable List and Drag it on the form.
    3. Set up fields in the Fields Configuration as provided below:

    Date From : dateInput : m/d/y
    Short Text: text
    Short Text: text
    Short Text: text
    Date To: dateInput : m/d/y
    Short Text: text
    Short Text: text
    Short Text: text

    Once you have this setup, you will able to enter the date and short text in the widget.

    Give it a try and let us know how it goes.

    Yes - thank you - that's great.
    But my question was, if it is possible to sort the entries by date later?
    F.E the customer fills the Configurable List but with mixed dates. 1.: 2023 - 2.: 2017 - 3.: 2020
    Now I want to sort the entries, so that 2.: 2017 is in the end of the list.
    Is that possible?

    Hi Hans,

    Thanks for getting back to us. Unfortunately, it is not possible to sort the dates automatically. They will manually need to be added in the correct order. 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 Developer Team. When or if it's developed 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.

    Reach out to us if you need any more help.
