    Hi,

    Are you asking if you can sort a View based on some custom field added to Account Entity.

    Yes. You can add that field to the View and You should be able to Sort based on it, by clicking the header.

    Its working while clicking the header only. by default Account Name as Sortable so is there any way to replace My Custom field

    yes, while editing the View, there is an option to edit Sorting Criteria, and it will contain all the columns which are on the view at that time. So you can set it and thus your view by default will be sorted according to your custom field.

    Sorry man, am not getting it .. what difficulty you are talking about. All I see is two fields based on which you can sort.

    the dialog to control sorting of a view does not always contain all the fields on the view.

    We have lookup fields from other entities on the view and those fields do not appear in sorting dialog dropdowns.

    However, the columns for those lookup fields are sortable and filterable when the view is used in my powerapps application.

    ?? Does anyone know how to make lookup fields (that are in the view) sortable/filterable when the view is used as an Entity List on an External portal?
