order by a numeric field

[Perez]

Hi,

i have a flow with a Get Items from sharepoint activity.

im trying to sort the data on the 'Order By' ODATA field in the get items activity, for a numeric column with no decimal places, but keep on getting an error:

when switching the column to text than it is only filter according to the first digit only.

how can i sort according to a numeric column? any idea?

thanks Eyal

Hi @Perez,

I tried to reproduce your issue. Unfortunately I was not able too.

Can you share more details about your setup? For example that Filter Query and the settings of your different columns? 

Below is the repro which did work on my dev environment. Maybe it is useful for you to compare and find a root cause?

1. Impact Number column with settings. I have explicitly set the number of decimal places to 0 btw.

2. Test data which I used, which is not sorted in descending order yet (Impact column)

3. Test flow I used with the Order By on Impact desc.
