It would be great if it were possible to replicate the Excel sort feature of the table widget  in Dashboards.  I.e. You are able to click on a table heading and then sort ascending and sort decending.

Agree! This has been suggested in at least a couple other posts as well. I really hope this functionality is in the works! Users just expect to be able to click on a header to sort, and they're frustrated when they can't.

Thanks, dashboard team!

This is a mandatory feature that should be there for all data-driven tables. It's great that we can show fancy graphs and advanced filter options, but it's really frustrating and illogical that we still can't sort hundreds of values in the table widget. Our users rather prefer to use a basic spread sheet instead of this nice dashboard.

I've actually begun moving over to experience builder to build dashboards where I see a need to dig into the tabular data more.  The table widget there is more advanced.

I 100% agree with @cbp-geus, this really should be a mandatory function.  It's difficult to convince my users to use a Dashboard when they can't even sort the data.

I agree. Dashboards are quicker to deploy and easier to maintain than Experience Builder apps. But not having a sortable table is a non-starter. It's been great to prototype an app, but falls short for a deployable solution.
