If you want to sort a view in Fibery ascending, then currently the entities with empty fields always show first. This is really anoying/problematic if you want to sort on: Priority Date (like deadline) Numbers (smallest to greatest) etc. In all these cases it’s more logic to first show entities w…

Duplicate/related [image] Choose order of empty values when sorting on Date field Ideas & Features Hi, When we create a board view which is sorted on a Date field, if some cards have no date value filled in, then they are always displayed before cards which contain date v…

Maybe we can combine them. But we don’t have this problem for only date fields; it’s for almost all fields that the user will use. With the new table/list views, the user will (hopefully?) be able to easily sort values. We are currently facing problems with Deadline field Planning field Priority…

I also regularly face this issue with unwanted empty values at the top of a view sorted by priority for example. Another workaround would be to implement the relationship field settings ‘input required’, and ‘default value’, two features Fibery doesn’t have yet, but that I’m looking forward to. I …
