Control order of specific FC’s features in popup (show newest feature first)

[Bud]

Web maps aren’t my area of expertise. And my organization uses Web App Builder at the moment, not Experience Builder. But I still think it could be useful to pose this idea.

In an Experience Builder web map, I want to use an explore/identify tool to click an area in the map that has multiple overlapping polygons in a FC. When the popup dialog opens, I want the newest polygon in the FC to be shown first in the list; I want the polygons to be sorted by the CREATED_DATE editor tracking field (descending).

I assume that isn’t possible in Experience Builder, as it is not possible in Web App Builder. Could that functionality be added to Experience Builder?

Popups traditionally loaded in order of speed. So slower pop ups at end.

They recently changed the web map behaviour so that pop ups honour the order of layers in the map. So layers on top, have pop ups shown first.

I don't know how this behaviour occurs for polygons within the same layer, would be a good question.

You won't see this in enterprise until a later release. You won't see this in web app builder as they are not developing it or the 3.x API.

I wonder what would happen if the features were sorted in the underlying database table. 

Idea: Sort rows in existing feature class

With that said, to my untrained eye, it kind of seems like there’s no such thing as a true sort order in enterprise geodatabase tables. If I query an Oracle table, Oracle might return the results in whatever order it wants if the query doesn’t explicitly sort the resultset using ORDER BY.
