The new sorting functionality is established by default on all interactive tables. We use a table that is automatically filtered and we do not want the operator to be able to change the order the rows are displayed. Also, the sort button itself messes with the column header text and creates text wrapping that is not shown in the editor.
I propose a setting for the interactive table to disable this feature on a per table basis.
Hi @MattNusbickel - we’re on this. We’ll disable by default, and folks can selectively enable.
Would also be nice if the sortable columns could be selected (i.e. not all or none)
Hi @jboyle today, you can select which subset of columns will be sortable via “Default Sort by”. Does that meet your needs?
I whish this was true.
The operator can only switch the direction! The sorting hierarchy will always maintain as set by default!
@thorsten.langner could you give it a try on the latest release? Part of our change was to make the selected columns all sortable outside of the sorting hierarchy. Let us know if this behavior is undesirable.
Wow … was this metioned in a release note?
I can’t test it currently because we still have the sorting on all columns by default… the next release should be available in a couple of days and I can retest it then.
Thanks for the callout @thorsten.langner . We’ve now updated the release note to make this more clear. Check it out here: Platform Release 328 - July 2025
@OlgaStroilova
I tested it now and this actually works well.
however : A “Back to default” would be great for the operator 
Thanks
Great callout - keeping an eye on upvotes here for that “Back to Default” button, and we’ll also see if that’s a quick thing we can fit in.
@thorsten.langner if the Operator reloads the step (e.g. by navigating to/from another step) the table sort would revert to the default. Is that a good workaround for now?
Granted that’s not as UX-friendly as an explicit revert button.
If I make a transition to the step itself, it does not revert.
If I switch the step and navigate to the step with the table again it seems to revert.
However, this is not always an option, because there is tons of step enter triggers restarting. This might break the process, if you only want to revert the sorting.
Agreed there are limitations to refreshing the step itself. We’ll both size an improvement to enable “Revert to Default Sort” and keep an eye on upvotes to help with prioritization.
