External Database

Hello,

We have external data base from API call connected to our application. Currently list appears in application in random order but it needs to be in alphabetical order.

Question is it possible to do? Since we dont have access to database. Maybe some work around possible?

Thank you!

Hi Diana,

You can use List Sort from System:

And use the field you want to sort the list by on the By attribute and define if it is ascending or descending.

Let me know how it works for you.

Cheers,

João
