Smartsheet Grid View Sort Button Disabled With Filters Active
Unlock the power of sorting in Smartsheet effortlessly.
- •Easily sort your Smartsheet data without disabling filters, saving you time and effort.
- •Enjoy a custom sort popup that remembers your settings for quick access and convenience.
- •Fix common Smartsheet pain points in one place.
I'm going to show you how to sort in Smartsheet, even when you have a filter enabled. First, download SSFeatures. Open your sheet in Grid View. Enable your filter. Right click a column. Click \"Sort rows\". Click \"OK\". Normally, Smartsheet does not let you sort when you have a filter enabled. SSFeatures bypasses this limitation so that you can manage your data exactly how you want to.
Use Cases
Filtered Task Lists - When you apply filters to show only certain tasks, you can still sort them by priority, due date, or owner without removing the filter.
Project Tracking - Sort filtered project data on the fly to keep track of deadlines and statuses while viewing only the most relevant rows.
Recurring Reports - Save and reload your favorite sort settings for filtered reports, making it quick to prepare updates or team handouts.

"We wouldn't love Smartsheet nearly as much without SSFeature's PDF Generator!! Our business depends on printed Smartsheet reports. SSFeatures has allowed us to successfully continue scaling on Smartsheets without printing workarounds. Our team members that rely on our reports are way happier ever since we started using the PDF Generator. It's great to see there are 3rd parties willing to fill critical gaps in Smartsheet."

The developer is incredibly responsive and provides top-notch customer support, making sure everything runs smoothly. It has saved us a ton of time and eliminated a lot of manual work. If you’re looking to get more out of Smartsheet, I highly recommend giving SSFeatures a try!"

So grateful to SSFeatures for the Auto-Sort function that has dramatically improved our experience with DataShuttle > Update Dropdowns feature so they are always alphabetized.

"I love that someone added features that Smartsheet seems to be unable or unwilling to add."
Ryan Ballew
Program Manager at Verizon
"PHENOMINAL app! A no brainer purchase for any Smartsheet super-user. Auto-sorting a sheet, printing or exporting a grouped/summarized report, SEARCHING FOR COLUMNS BY NAME! All in one packaged app that's controlled within Smartsheet. Amazing. Highly, highly, highly recommend."
Kayla Sweeney
Smartsheet Solutions Consultant at Better Work Week
"All the SS Features are great but for us the PDF Generator was a huge game changer, a large percentage of our work depends on printed reports and the support of PDF generation for smartsheet reports while keeping the grouping & summaries was a must have."
