Workflow Automation: Sort Collected Items

Use the Sort Collected action to sort Podio Items collected in a previous step. This can be used with the Search for Items or the Get Referenced Items Collector.

This feature is helpful when you are building a custom detail table using Custom Variables in a For Each loop.

When collecting Podio Items, Podio returns them in the same order that the items were created in the App which can not be filtered by any specific column. For example, If an item has a Date field, this can cause issues when outputting the results into a table as there will be no order.

Add the Sort Collected after the Collector action you selected and choose the field to sort by.

Now, when the flow runs to create the table, all Items will be sorted by the field of choice.
