I’m trying to alphabetize the list of roles attached to `SYS - Solution Developer` to make it easier to understand, but can’t seem to figure out how to move the related roles up and down. Is this possible?

You can do this from the tree view of this data where you can drag and drop nodes. I don’t think that we expose the sequence number in the list view here, but if you open the columns and you see a sequence number field, you could also update that if it is editable.

@joeyates23 the tree view seems to be alphabetically ordered while the list view is jumbled. There is no sequence number. Is everything working like it should?

This particular application treats the relationships table as a Detail table. So similar to other detail tables they are displayed currently as they were entered. @ian.p there is an option to sort via the advanced filter section. Doesn’t solve your issue entirely but we’re always making improvements. Submit a ticket for enhancement if you want to track potential decisions but an default sort seems like something we could apply here at some point in the future.

I believe the reason you see a difference in the Tree vs the Detail form is the Tree is using Roles table/app which has a default sort applied. The RoleRelationships piece/page does not have a sort that I am able to identify
