Hi,

We are sorry to inform you that your question Can we sort the "Create HTML Table" In power Automate is not supported.

However, you can use PowerAutomate built-in action to convert the data in the HTML Table into an array, sort the array, and then build the HTML Table with the sorted data, or sort the raw data directly before you build the HTML Table.

If you think this is an essential feature, you can submit an idea to the Flow Ideas forum.

The link is as follows:

In addition, here is a solution to a problem similar to yours, which you can refer to if needed.

I hope my answer is helpful to you! If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact me.

Best Regards,

Rudy Zhang

Yes we can sort the HTML table inside power automate.

For this we need to use the "select" operator of "data Operation" before the "Create HTML table" step and here after mapping all the columns, the we will be having an array of records and now we can sort the array, means now we can apply the sorting on output of "select".

and if array is string of array elements then expression will be sort(outputs('Simple_Array')) and if you have array of objects then it will be sort(outputs('Simple_Array'),'object') .

Hi!

There is no native way to apply a sort by items from a column in the select component and the HTML component. One way to do this is in the information that feeds the select, that is, the source information. In the case of Dataverse, in the list rows, there is the sort by option; just include the column name and desc or asc depending on your need.

See the exemple in Microsoft image guide (name asc) .
