Sort Gallery By ID in Power Apps

1. In Power Apps, there is a Text input control and a Gallery control. All the gallery records are retrieved from the SharePoint list.

2. When the search box is empty, the gallery will appear with all the SharePoint list records.

3. When a user enters any file name in the search box, the gallery filters according to user search-related records in descending order (based on ID values), as seen below.

4. To work around this, we will use the below formula on the gallery’s Items property:

Items = SortByColumns(
    Filter(
        'TSInfo Attachments',
        StartsWith(
            Title,
            txtSearchFile.Text
        )
    ),
    "ID",
    SortOrder.Descending
)

Where,

1. ‘TSInfo Attachments‘ = SharePoint list name
2. StartsWith = This Power Apps function helps test whether a text string begins with another. To know more details about this post, go through this complete tutorial: Power Apps StartsWith and EndsWith Functions
3. Title = Single line of text field that the user will search in the search box
4. txtSearchFile = Text input control name where the user will search the file name
5. “ID” = Specify the SharePoint ID field name that you want to sort

5. Save and preview the app. When you enter a search term (like PowerApps) into the search box, the gallery will filter and display the results according to the ID field (in descending order).
