On a daily basis have to adjust new views to be Creation Date > Descending. But I think this should be a setting in the Db configuration page. Default sort of dialogs in to-one relations in fibery is by Name. I hardly ever use sort by Name. Also, it would be nice to have a default sort for relati…

[image] Yuri_BC: Default sort in fibery is by Name Why do you say this? Which views are you talking about? I just created a table view and there was no sort applied by default.

This would be useful I think… together with default pinning, filters and colouring. :slightly_smiling_face:

[image] Chr1sG: Which views are you talking about? You are right! I updated the screenshot in the post now, thanks. I was confusing single select fields sort order vs collection view sort order. Still, the single select is by default by Name. So this was what I referred to: This [image] a…

[image] Yuri_BC: Still, the single select is by default by Name. I don’t think you mean ‘ single select ’ do you? They should be sorted by rank. It’s true that the dialogs for linking related entities default to alphabetical name order.

Which is the default for all other views so …

I think the compact relation view not being sorted by rank is a different issue, since it relates to how already-linked items are ordered, which is slightly different to the default sort order in the selection dialog for choosing new entities.

I think there might by a miscommunication. I meant the sort order for the selection when choosing new entities. Both here and in the bug report above. Did @Yuri_BC mean something else? If my memory serves me right (again, no one confirmed or denied this yet :smiling_face_with_tear:), a month ago th…
