First Sorted Value in Auto Sorting
Dear Qlik Sense experts,
I was wondering how to get the max of this list from the auto sorting of Qlik Sense. To be more precise, from this very simple list, I would like to obtain the value 'RF_2022_02'
I tried using the max (not working at all) or the function FirstSortedValue but it didn't work as I intended (see enclosed capture).
There isn't other fields that can help the field as a max appart from the auto sorting.
Do you know how I can get this value ?
Thank you for your help!

Perfect, it worked like a charm ! Thank you very much.
Can you explain why the maxstring worked and not the max ? And why did you add 'All' before ? (is it different to total ?)

Try MaxString({1} [Cost Baseline Version - FA]) rather than Max(), as the latter is intended for numeric values.

It's not showing 'RF_2022_02', as I would like instead it shows all the values in the "right order"

Sorry, moment of distraction there. {1} only ignores selections, not dimensions.
MaxString(All [Cost Baseline Version - FA])
