Currently I use Tulip’s browser version to view data in the Tables quite frequently. Is there any way to set the default sorting when I open a table to be “Date Created - Newest to Oldest” instead of Oldest to Newest?
What you can do:
- Activate metadata in the table settings.
- Sort date created or date updated newest to oldest.
- Hide metadata.

Thank you for responding! Yes, I’m aware of this. What I’m wondering is if there is a way to set this sorting as the default sorting when you open a table?
I am not condoning this solution, Tulip should definitely keep an eye on this request. But based on prior suggestions by myself when this came up in the past. I decided to take on some agency. This might teach people a bit about how SaaS platforms (sometimes) work, and it could be a useful trick in some other places.
- Download this chrome plugin
- Set up a redirect rule to automatically add these url params whenever you get to a matching link:
From: ^https://(.+?).tulip.co/w/DEFAULT/table/([^?]+)$
To: https://$1.tulip.co/w/DEFAULT/table/$2?sortOptions=%5B%7B%22sortBy%22%3A%22_createdAt%22%2C%22sortDir%22%3A%22desc%22%7D%5D&offset=0
Now, whenever you open a tulip table view your browser will auto-magically apply the sort filter. I am sure there is more creativity to be explored here. I look forward to other’s ideas.
Happy Tulip-ing

v2 option which will work for all workspaces and instances without workspaces turned on.
From: ^https://(.+?).tulip.co(/w/[^/]*)?/table/([^?]+)$
