Sorts all records by a selected field value. Use it to order data before downstream processing, reporting, or limiting with Head/Tail.

​
Configuration

SettingDescription
FieldThe field to sort by
Reverse OrderSort descending (Z-A, 9-0) when enabled. Default is ascending (A-Z, 0-9)

​
How It Works

1

Select a field

Choose which field to sort by — supports text, numbers, and dates.
2

Choose order

Leave Reverse Order off for ascending (A-Z, oldest first, smallest first), or enable it for descending.

​
Output

All records in the same order as input, but reordered by the selected field. The sorted order is maintained by all downstream nodes.

​
Example

Sort accounts by revenue (highest first):
  • Field: Revenue
  • Reverse Order: enabled
Combine with Head/Tail to get the top 10 highest-revenue accounts.

​
Best Practices

  • Sort before Head/Tail to get meaningful “top N” or “bottom N” results
  • Sort before Export to CSV for reports that should be in a specific order
  • Sorting is stable — records with the same value maintain their relative order
  • Head/Tail — limit to first or last N records after sorting
  • Group By — group records by field values (different from sorting)
