This is a tangential feature request regarding sorting, but it would also be convenient to have the ability to sort for Links to table as well (and indeed, multi-selects). In that case, this would need to be an option for the field, not via a function.

Noted! Thank you for your feedback @Yam. I think it would be best if we add the SORT function first (as it might require less development work), and have the separate issue of adding sorting for the Lookup/Rollup fields. What do you think?

Hoping that this will get implemented soon - It’s the biggest limitation that I can see.

I’d also very much appreciate a unique rollup.

Hi @olgatrykush, any update on the ARRAYUNIQUE rollup formula?

Not yet @gabrielle — I’ll check with the team to see if it’s on the shortlist. 🙂

Hey @gabrielle, we’ll try to prioritize this feature to be released in Q1 or Q2. 🙌

Thanks for adding `array_unique`, I’ve applied it to my use cases, really great!

Is there a way to sort the array returned by a formula as well? (directly or using some of the existing/new functions?)

Also I thought again about this:

> it would also be convenient to have the ability to sort for Links to table as well (and indeed, multi-selects). In that case, this would need to be an option for the field, not via a function.

If you (hopefully) consider implementing the display order in the Links to table at some time, rather than add a specific option, a natural way to do it could be via the advanced option “Limit to (a certain) view”, and using the same sorting order as the referenced view, if any. Thank you.
