Sort Option in table

Admiral 03 Dec, 2024

I notice in Table when using Data Source the sort option is not available in the dropdown. However when using Table Name as a data source, it is. Is this intentional?

Thanks

yes, if you use Data Source then just enter the Read Data name (read_data1) and the sort columns will be copied from the Read Data sortable settings, this was done to avoid duplicating the configuration

Thanks, yes that makes sense. However when I do this and add as example {var:read_data1} as the data source in the table, then the table column name, say ID to the sortable, the ID shows in the table but it is not highlighted. Am I missing a step?

you need to use read_data1 directly, no {var: or }, using the action name will enable the settings copy
