Sort in line records

[Uribe]

I created records using an inline form in the following order:

1

2

3

4

5

However, when they were written into the table in Google Sheets, they appeared in this order instead:

2

1

5

3

4

I need them to be written in the table in the same order they were created in AppSheet. Is this possible?

If not, what alternative method can I use to sort them in the view so they appear in the correct order?

You could possibly use a relevant column to sort the inline view records to be shown in the summary view in the order you wish to have. When you say you wish to have a certain order of records , there should be some column that identifies that certain order. You could use such a column as a sort column in the summary view?

I think there isn’t another column that could be used for the sorting I need. The records are payment amounts that I have on paper. After I create them in the app, another person verifies that the amounts were entered correctly. However, since they appear in a different order, the verification process becomes difficult.

Please try adding a datetime type physical column called something like [Record_Added] with an initial value of NOW(), editable_if as FALSE and then please sort that inline view by [Record_Added] column in ascending order.
