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.](https://community.tulip.co/t/default-show-metadata-fields/7545/5) 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](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/redirector/lioaeidejmlpffbndjhaameocfldlhin)
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
