Filter Pane not showing "Sorting" property

Hi,

I'm following along the videos from the course "Creating Data During Reload". I'm on the 4th video, "Create a Custom Sort Order Using an Inline Load". The app used in this video has a basic sheet with a filter pane titled "Division". We are shown how to use the "Sorting" options tab to change the order in which the filter items are to be displayed in this "Division" filter pane.  This is done by:

  1. Opening the sheet where the filter pane is
  2. Enabling edit mode by clicking 'Edit sheet'
  3. Clicking the filter pane
  4. To the right, the options should show a tab 'Sorting', which should have a slider that can be set to 'Auto' or 'Custom'. This tab should appear between the tabs 'Data' and 'Appearance', which I've highlighted in yellow in the screenshot below (taken from the video):

However, I do not see this option on my sheet. I only see the tabs  'Data' and 'Appearance':

Does anyone know why this could be? Do I have to enable this option somewhere? Thank you.

This looks to be outdated, as the filter pane was improved upon recently. Sorting is now under "Data", for each individual field.

Thank you Or! I had inspected the 'Data' option, but didn't realize you could click the name of the field (in my case, 'Division'). I see the sorting option now 😄
