Sort items

The Sort items helper enables rearranging rows in a table in a certain order.

Example 1 - Sort by sales

Let’s say you have a table of sales from your e-commerce store. You can use the Sort items helper to organize the table by the Total Sales column in descending order to quickly identify your highest performing products.

Consider a sales table as shown below:

Product	Total Sales
Shoes	1000
Bags	500
Jackets	1500
Shirts	2000
Hats	2000

By using the Sort items helper, you can organize the 'Total Sales' column in descending order:

Product	Total Sales
Shirts	2000
Hats	2000
Jackets	1500
Shoes	1000
Bags	500

Example 2 - Sort by product (Secondary sorting)

Let's add secondary sorting by 'Product'. The table will be first sorted by 'Total Sales' in descending order, and then by 'Product' in ascending alphabetical order:
