We have a subtable main that we want to be viewed in ascending order of created date. That is configured at the table level but isnt reflecting on the application where this subtable is shown. Is there a way to apply the sort on the app?

Hi Jess, we currently do not support sorting subtables. This post has some workarounds that can get the subtable displayed in a sorted order, [Sorting on subtable](https://community.nextw.com/t/sorting-on-subtable/1383).

Thanks Aaron! From that thread it sounds like subtable sorts aren’t on the roadmap, do you know if an idea has already been entered for this?

An idea for this is in the Nextworld backlog and I have tagged this thread to it.
