Adjust sort order in selection bar

stein_to — Fri, 10 Sep 2021 10:18:33 GMT

Hi everyone,

to my knowledge and as explained in another thread, it is currently not possible to adjust the sort order / list sequence order for the selection bar in Qlik Sense. -> In the selection bar selection list sequence order is not as per the filter pane sort setting

I think it would be more user friendly if the sort order could be customized.

Let me explain the problem with the following screenshot:

The user has currently selected 2021-09. From the user's point of view, it is much more likely that he wants to analyze data closer to his current selection. Instead, the selection bar starts with 2019-01 (numerically ascending) and the user is forced to use the search function in the selection bar to look at data from 2021-08.

Completely agree, Its confusing for the users to have different sort order in the filter pane and in the selection bar, see the image attached. I would like to configure descending order in both filter pane and selection bar. I guess the only way is to change the load order in the script, thats not the ideal solution I think

We also support that proposal because in our case when the user works with the fullscreen mode of the table, their is only the filterbar left where you can adjust your values which is very confusing for the user!

This disconnect is truly confusing for user. Please reflect sorting used on sheet/app in Selections too. Thanks in advance.
