Change Default Table Sorting

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:

  1. Activate metadata in the table settings.

  1. Sort date created or date updated newest to oldest.

  1. 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.

  1. Download this chrome plugin
  2. 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/([^?]+)$
To: https://$1.tulip.co$2/table/$3?sortOptions=%5B%7B%22sortBy%22%3A%22_createdAt%22%2C%22sortDir%22%3A%22desc%22%7D%5D&offset=0
