FAQ

- How do I use this plugin to sort my repeating group?  
Add the plugin to your Bubble app and use one of the provided actions (Sort Repeating Group By Number, Sort Repeating Group By Date, Sort Repeating Group By Text) in your workflows. Set the criteria you want the group to be sorted by.

- Can I set up multiple sorting options for the same repeating group?  
Yes, you can configure different workflows to apply sorting based on user input. For example, you could use buttons or dropdowns to allow users to select their preferred sorting criteria.

- Does this plugin support dynamic data in the repeating group?  
Absolutely. The plugin works with any dynamic data source, making it easy to sort entries based on the live data in your repeating group.

- Is it possible to sort nested data within the repeating group?  
This plugin primarily sorts the main entries of the repeating group. For nested data, consider flattening the structure or creating custom fields that aggregate the values you wish to sort by.

- Will the plugin affect the performance of my app?  
The plugin is designed to be efficient. However, the performance impact may vary depending on the amount of data in the repeating group and the complexity of the sort criteria. For optimal performance, keep the data volume manageable.

How do I get the table element?
July 28th, 2024
Hi there! The table element used on the demo page is the Table element provided by Bubble! You can find it in the same place you can find the repeating group element in the Bubble editor, it is called “table” Hopefully this helps! Thimo (plugin author)

Error response
June 29th, 2024
Hi Timo, I followed all step you shared to put this plugin to use but I keep getting the error "The plugin Repeating Group Sorting (Sort) / action Sort Repeating Group by Date threw the following error: TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'children') at n (PLUGIN_1685525155901x838124401560125400/Repeating-Group-Sorting--Sort--action--Sort-Repeating-Group-by-Date-.js:3:2717) at eval (PLUGIN_1685525155901x838124401560125400/Repeating-Group-Sorting--Sort--action--Sort-Repeating-Group-by-Date-.js:3:3892)". I am trying to sort by date. Is there something I am doing wrong. Thank you.
The demand for the RG to be 100% loaded compromises the plugin
April 2nd, 2024
It's a good plugin, but it requires all lines to be loaded and visible. This makes no practical sense. Suppose I have a list of 100 items sorted A-Z. The bubble only loads around 20%, so I have to go down the entire list until all items are loaded, and then sort them from Z-A, which doesn't make sense, since I went down the entire list. If I order Z-A before loading all items, the plugin shows line ~20 as the last one, which is not real and can cause confusion for the user
Hey there, The literal purpose of this plugin, as clearly stated in the plugin description, is to sort fully loaded repeating groups... As you clearly do NOT fit in that category, you should find another way to sort your repeating group. (plugin author)

Solved my problems
March 30th, 2024
Thanks a lot for this plugin.
Hey there, Not sure if I understand? This plugin offers a couple of workflow actions to sort a repeating group or table. When you install the plugin you will see the sorting actions when editing your workflow… This plugin does not offer an element, only the workflow actions. Please see the demo page so you can see how it works. Would appreciate if you could update your review. Regards, Thimo (plugin author)
