...and looking at the AGOL version of the data I posted, I can sort the GlobalID in Arc Map, as in the two images above, without having to take it offline. Interestingly, in both Pro and Arc, when online, the feature service Globalids are rendered in lower case, when offline....upper case, however, Pro is missing the Arc Map functionality to be able to sort the GlobalID while online.  GUID switch to lower case  Guid feature type, uppercase by default on FGDB?  GUID case in ArcGIS Pro  https://community.esri.com/thread/115041  ...

Nope, the AGOL Feature Service, as well as the Server 10.6.1 Feature service, does not sort on GlobalID. Happens with 100% of my feature services, on multiple installs of 2.2.1. We may be defining "Sort" differently (Alberto Ferrari : How are GUIDs sorted by SQL Server? ). When the feature service is online, I get the same results you do. When I download it to a .geodatabase, I get:  And: Note how the sorting is occurring on  0 1 2 3  4 5  6 7  8 9  A B C D E F ... View more

You will not notice the clock speed difference in Pro, but you will notice more cores. 32 GB  RAM IMHO is the 'minimum' Pro needs. Video card is "adequate", sport for the NVIDIA. The bigger question you should be asking, is, assuming you're on a standard computer replacement cycle (5 years), will the workstation you buy today run the version of Pro that comes out in 4 years?  ...

Use a template with your SDE/Server Connections. However, if you're supporting a large organization, where folks may or may not have access to C drive, or it's called something else, etc....you'll need a separate template for each location/environment. But, you'll then notice that using a template with those connections will create SDE/SVR connection files in each project folder, over and over and over again. I can easily bang through 20-30 new projects a day, using Pro like you say we should (like Arc: Open up the program, do something, save it so some other user can do something later). The amount of unnecessary file duplication is not-sustainable, and something I hope ESRI addresses. ... View more

2.2.1, plain-vanilla SDE feature class, not a view, not a query. Everything in this workflow is out of the box. We have not certified 2.2.3 for use (security and regression testing), and likely won't any time soon. I should add, being off-line capable, the feature class is archived, but not registered as versioned. Editor tracking. Storage type geography, GCS NAD83. Here is a public copy of one of the FC's that's not sorting, but the GlobalID's will be different: http://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=2d413fce1dc349bd92af8fdcdbe8c3c9  Sure wish there was a GUID validator in Pro...https://community.esri.com/ideas/14489 . I have had mixes of different types of GUID's cause GIS processes to fail in the past.  ... View more

Data source is SQL 2014 ENT, Geography Storage Type, no SQL triggers or alteration to GlobalID default (Should be a class 4 GUID?), 10.6.1 feature service. Doesn't sort as a feature service, sorts as a .geodatabase..... ... View more

Kory Kramer when will the horizontal scroll be fixed? In an attribute table with many columns, when I scroll horizontally, all I get is the column name. I need to be able to scroll left and right and see attribute values, not column names. This is the way it works in Arc, and I've never noticed any performance problems, even with over 100 columns.  ... View more

Two questions regarding https://community.esri.com/thread/221620-iterate-selection-and-calculate-field-not-working#comment-802163  How could I throw a select statement in there to only update points where the name is null?  This is probably fantasy, but how could this be modified to do a nearest neighbor? E.g I want to append "ROAD_NAME" in the point feature class with the name of the nearest road.  ... View more

In response to  https://community.esri.com/thread/221620-iterate-selection-and-calculate-field-not-working#comment-802119 :  Now that you mention it, the updated values DO need to show up on mobile devices. These are what we call "administrative" boundaries. The field workers could care less what county, watershed, or jurisdiction something occurs in, but the managers can't function without it. They want to sit in their vehicle somewhere and call up "Show me all the sasquatch sightings in this county", or "how many 3 headed fish are in this watershed", or "how many pizza's did colson have delivered to this district". I've tried SQL triggers in the past, but the performance hit is too great, and asking data editors to attribute up to 10 administrative boundaries for each point will never happen. Hence a python solution where we can push a button and do it, or automate it.  ... View more

Hi all, thanks for all the detailed replies. I got sideways with some other more priority mapping requirements last few weeks, I'm skipping cutting firewood today so I can wade through the responses here!
