Really nice to have this Sort method in Activebords 😍 

Can we also get it in Data Search?

Thank you for your feedback! We are really glad that you enjoy the sort method in Activeboards.

About it missing in Data Search, we open any new search sorted by `eventdate` by default and then you can use the arrows in the field headers to modify this default sorting.
Could you let us know more about your use case scenario in which you miss a `sort` method in the query language in Data Search?


Yes, I’m aware of the arrows in the field headers and I’m using them a lot. It’ll make my (and probably others) life easier if we can get it in the query directly. For example, when using a saved (favourite) queries to directly show me the events in the order I’d like to see them. I know, it’s one click of the mouse but will be really nice to have it in Data search too 😎

I understand your use case and will consider options to improve the usability of sorting options in the Data Search for future releases. Thanks a lot!
