Create multiple sorting icons for single gallery

[ShadowTech]

Hello,

I have added an icon for sorting a gallery by column "SortByColumns" but want to add another for another column but having trouble with the formula. Below is what I have so far. How would I add the second "SortByColumns" for second icon?

I would like to add another icon for "SortByColumns" for "Customer".

SortByColumns(Filter(Search(LIST01, SearchBox.Text, "E_x002d_mail", "Customer", "LISTRMA_x0023_", "Contact"), If(Dropdown1.Selected.Value = "All", true, Status.Value = Dropdown1.Selected.Value), If(Dropdown2.Selected.Value = "All", true, Branch.Value = Dropdown2.Selected.Value)), "LISTRMA_x0023_", If(SortDescending1, Descending, Ascending))

Thanks in advance.

Hi @ShadowTech ,

If you set the second icon to toggle

UpdateContext({SortDescending2:!SortDescending2})

you could do this

SortByColumns(
   Filter(
      Search(
         LIST01, 
         SearchBox.Text, 
         "E_x002d_mail", 
         "Customer", 
         "LISTRMA_x0023_", 
         "Contact"
      ), 
      If(
         Dropdown1.Selected.Value = "All", 
         true, 
         Status.Value = Dropdown1.Selected.Value
      ), 
      If(
         Dropdown2.Selected.Value = "All", 
         true, 
         Branch.Value = Dropdown2.Selected.Value
      )
   ), 
   "LISTRMA_x0023_", 
   If(
      SortDescending1, 
      Descending, 
      Ascending
   ),
   "Customer",
   If(
      SortDescending2, 
      Descending, 
      Ascending
   )
)

Tried that same implementation but for some reason the second sort button does not execute that function. Nothing happens when clicking the second sort button. Just the first sort button works.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Hi @ShadowTech ,

Strange, but I have not tried that before, so try this

Sort(
   Sort(
      Filter(
         Search(
            LIST01, 
            SearchBox.Text, 
            "E_x002d_mail", 
            "Customer", 
            "LISTRMA_x0023_", 
            "Contact"
         ), 
         If(
            Dropdown1.Selected.Value = "All", 
            true, 
            Status.Value = Dropdown1.Selected.Value
         ), 
         If(
            Dropdown2.Selected.Value = "All", 
            true, 
            Branch.Value = Dropdown2.Selected.Value
         )
      ), 
      LISTRMA_x0023_, 
      If(
         SortDescending1, 
         Descending, 
         Ascending
      )
   ),
   Customer,
   If(
      SortDescending2, 
      Descending, 
      Ascending
   )
)

@WarrenBelz Yeah that doesn't work. Using "SortByColumns(SortByColumns(" doesn't work either.

@ShadowTech ,

The syntax structure should be valid - what do you mean by "it does not work" - does the code produce an error?

Also note that this will sort by LISTRMA_x0023_ and then Customer - do want to sort by one or the other ? If so you need another structure with a value (say radio control) with Items ["Customer", "ListRMA"] and would look something like this (and you can go with a single sort button).

Sort(
   Filter(
      Search(
         LIST01, 
         SearchBox.Text, 
         "E_x002d_mail", 
         "Customer", 
         "LISTRMA_x0023_", 
         "Contact"
      ), 
      If(
         Dropdown1.Selected.Value = "All", 
         true, 
         Status.Value = Dropdown1.Selected.Value
      ) &&
      If(
         Dropdown2.Selected.Value = "All", 
         true, 
         Branch.Value = Dropdown2.Selected.Value
      )
    ), 
   If(
      YourRadio.Selected.Value="Customer",
      Customer, 
      LISTRMA_x0023_
   ), 
   If(
      SortDescending1, 
      Descending, 
      Ascending
   )
)

I have the same issue, and I also tried multiple SortByColumns and Sort

They should work regardless, because they are distinct commands.

You sort once, and then resort again.
