Filter Widget - User Input - Sort Options

jessneuner — Fri, 17 Jan 2025 17:56:38 GMT

Happy Friday!

I don't know an easy way to ask this question -- we've got this difficulty field and we want users to be able to filter the data by it. The challenge I'm having is that the options to filter aren't presented logically...

I've tried a couple ways of storing the data (straight text, using numbers as the stored value, and adding numbers to display name) ... adding numbers to the display name works, but it's not preferred ...

Anybody solved this one? Is it solvable?

I'd give this idea a like: https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-experience-builder-ideas/filter-widget-option-to-display-order-of/idi-p/1294409

Unfortunately you will have to do 1, 2, 3 or A, B, C etc.

It's a bit of a pain, but if you make a New Filter for each item, you can arbitrarily sort them.
