Smart Text Sort (natural sorting)

Published February 2026
   •    Updated May 2026

Plugin details

Simple natural sorting for text with numbers.
🤔 Bubble sorts text alphabetically, which often produces unexpected results, like “Task 10” appearing before “Task 2”.

✅ Smart Text Sort fixes this by generating a sorting value from your text, so lists are ordered the way people naturally expect.

This plugin is lightweight and designed to work with minimal setup. Simple to add, easy to use.

Instructions

1️⃣  In your data type, add a new text field (for example: sort_key). This field will be used only for sorting.
2️⃣  Generate the sort key when saving data with this plugin.

When you create or update an item:
- Run the Smart Text Sort action
- Provide the text you want to sort by (for example: "Task 10")
- Save the returned value into your sort_key field

3️⃣ Sort your repeating group by the sort_key field.


👉  That’s it! Your list will now sort in a natural, human-friendly order.
