ArcGIS Dashboard - Table Widget - Sort Columns

It would be great if it were possible to replicate the Excel sort feature of the table widget in Dashboards. I.e. You are able to click on a table heading and then sort ascending and sort decending.

Agree! This has been suggested in at least a couple other posts as well. I really hope this functionality is in the works! Users just expect to be able to click on a header to sort, and they're frustrated when they can't.

This is a mandatory feature that should be there for all data-driven tables. It's great that we can show fancy graphs and advanced filter options, but it's really frustrating and illogical that we still can't sort hundreds of values in the table widget. Our users rather prefer to use a basic spread sheet instead of this nice dashboard.

I've actually begun moving over to experience builder to build dashboards where I see a need to dig into the tabular data more. The table widget there is more advanced.

I 100% agree with @cbp-geus, this really should be a mandatory function. It's difficult to convince my users to use a Dashboard when they can't even sort the data.

I agree. Dashboards are quicker to deploy and easier to maintain than Experience Builder apps. But not having a sortable table is a non-starter. It's been great to prototype an app, but falls short for a deployable solution.

@Mike_Koutnik Couldn't agree more!

ESRI are you listening? Is there a timeline for this?

We need this function today! Can we get this on the road map esri?

@patrickb I saw on another thread that table sorting was moved to Under Consideration in October 2023. Do you have any updates for us on this much-needed functionality? It's the first thing I check for with every ArcGIS Online update.

Thanks in advance!

Looks like table sorting is not included in the Feb 2025 update. 😭

Just adding my name on this list to hopefully get closer for ESRI to recognize this is needed.

This is an absolute necessity! I need the data expression functionality of dashboards for my app to create some fields on the fly, but table sorting is an absolute requirement as well, so I am really stuck. Please add this functionality!

Just came to look for this in Enterprise. Super hard to filter through data without this.

Just arrived here via a google search on how to enable sorting on a Dashboard table widget because I assumed the option must be there somewhere...blown away that it is not yet. Chiming in to say that this seems like an essential table function and I hope it's implemented soon!

TomThompson2 — Mon, 22 Sep 2025 15:01:51 GMT

Please add this feature. I needed this a year ago. Table sorting is a must, I am currently using PowerBI for this and would like to use an esri dashboard instead. Any updates on a timeline or if this is even on a roadmap?

Adding another vote for this, would be really useful for our users.

I can't tell you how much we would love to have this. ESRI, please consider for Enterprise!!

Still waiting for a table sorting feature in ArcGIS Dashboards. Please add it soon, we are data hungry. 🤤
