Hi All! I have been having an issue with sorting any data by date in a descending order. Even if I use a single sorting expression in a formula I always get an ascending list. Eg.: Runs.Filter([Creation Date] \>= Today() - Days(15)).Sort(Finished, false) will result the same list as Runs.Filter([Creation Date] \>= Today() - Days(15)).Sort(Finished) Has anybody else noticed a similar behavior? Thank You! Attila ---

The `Sort()` function is normally only used in formulas when followed by `First()` or `Last()`, in order to [get the highest/lowest item](https://the.fibery.io/@public/User_Guide/Guide/Formulas-Reference-44/anchor=Sort(-field,-isAscending-)-+-First()-and--e854f229-3f1e-4ca7-9f49-1901823c5286). It has no effect on how a collection is displayed on the UI. Sorting of a collection is a UI-only thing, and for formulas that result in a collection, it is not possible to control the sort order. ---

Thank You, Chr1sG for the quick answer. Albeit the reasoning surprises me as it would mean I can create views and sort its items any way I want, but I am unable to use the same feature in a formula to display the relevant information. Interesting. Thanks again for the help! ---

We have a feature in the backlog to make collections that are the result of formulas, behave like regular relation fields on the UI (sort, filter, color-code) which will probably solve this ---

That is some great news, I am looking forward to seeing it. Thanks again! ---

Is there a way we can vote on this feature? I notice the original post is a bug report that has come up in several threads now. ---

If you’re encountering the problem described in this topic, then the solution will be supporting normal collection field behaviour for formulas/lookups, which is what is described in the topic mentioned above, so voting on that topic will be enough.
