Ability to Sort Tables

Since the update where tables moved out of database and into FENXT there is no longer the ability to sort the tables. There should be an option to sort alphabetical order or for you to choose the order you want the table to appear in. Now if you add a new entry it auotmatically goes to the bottom (EVEN IF THE REST OF THE TABLE IS IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER) and no way to change this.

    I've just spent 2 hours chatting with support to learn that this functionality has been removed from database view Accounts Payable module. So much for Blackbaud's promise that functionality won't be removed from database view until that functionality (or its equivalent) is replicated in web view.

    If we can sort tables and rearrange table values in RE NXT, then we know the capability is there and we need to be able to do this in FE NXT as well. I can't believe I'm still having to log into database view in order to sort table entries in alphabetical order.

    It's been two years and this is still at "No Status"? Please don't remove functionality by sunsetting database.

    It is crazy you can't sort table values. Some of our tables are very long and its crazy that a person has to scroll to the bottom to get that table value.

    I was able to go to database version to sort, but many tables are no longer accessible there and can't be sorted in NXT.

    This would be helpful because we have 42 locations and it takes time to find the correct location in the drop down menu.

    Tossing my vote in - would be super helpful!

    Adding a comment on this one since it has been a few months since the last comment.

    This is pretty inconvenient to not be able to resort table entries.

    Agreed. Small and simple function that truly slows productivity. Please bring this back. 2023 idea and it has no status. I'm hoping my recent comment will bring current attention to the idea.

    Any updates from Blackbaud on this? They took away the ability to do this in database

    Sorting tables is extremely important to reduce time searching through large tables. This is a huge step backward when tables were removed from the database view.

    I agree. This was such a small but important detail!

    Yes, I would like to see the same functionality as in RENXT -- able to sort tables alphabetically, or drag individual table entries. (I am currently using NXT to add new table entries, then going to database view to sort, which is inefficient...)
