    Can someone help me please!

    I, for the life of me, can not sort my data by date.

    Any examples? Or any obvious things I should know.

    I can attach my file if needed.

    Problem is it sorta by first number but not by month and year. So, I’ll have all January’s of both 2020 and 2021 together

    Thanks!

    Hello Yvette,

    Are you using a proper Date field in your form? Or are you using a Text field with date values in it? You need to use a proper Date field (or Date & Time).

    But to sort on your Date field, click the Form button, then the First Sort Field popup button. Select your Date field and then Tap Forms will automatically group your records by month and year. They will also be sorted chronologically.

    Thanks!

    Brendan
