    Ciao. Nella tabella creata da un modulo, c'è un modo per far si che i cognomi siano visualizzati in ordine alfabetico?

    Hi Scuola,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. Unfortunately, our Italian Support agents are busy helping other Jotform users at the moment. I'll try to help you in English using Google Translate, but you can reply in whichever language you feel comfortable using. Or, if you'd rather have support in Italian, let us know and we can have them do that. But, keep in mind that you'd have to wait until they're available again.

    Now, coming back to your question, are you referring to the Jotform Table of this form? If so, I see that you expanded the Full Name column to separate the first name from the last name. Unfortunately, when the Full Name column is expanded, the option to sort it alphabetically is unavailable. You can only sort the Full Name column if the first and last names are together in a single column. So, the table can only sorted alphabetically using the first name.

    A workaround is to keep the Full Name column expanded and download your submission as Excel. In this way, you can sort the last name column alphabetically. Let me show you how to download the data as Excel:

    • In Jotform Tables, click on the Download All button in the upper-right corner of the page.
    • Select Download as Excel from the menu.

    Also, please that I have understood your issue correctly so we can also submit a feature request.

    Let us know if there’s anything else we can help you with.

    Ciao. Si, la mia richiesta è stata compresa correttamente. Opterò per scaricare la tabella in formato excel, perchè trovo molto più utile avere l'ordine alfabetico per i cognomi piuttosto che per i nomi. Grazie.
