Hi All,

I am new to kibana and doesn't know why there is no options to sort by columns...

 ![Screenshot (12)](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/4/9/491dcdddba9681f1b3dfe4f8613cf069b3ec1e02.png)

discussion on [Sorting in Kibana Data Table Visualization](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/sorting-in-kibana-data-table-visualization/274200) shows that i can sort the table by columns, but i cannot do the same with my data.....

is there any way to achieve that?

Thanks,  
Johanes

Hey @Johanes_Mistrialdo

Currently it is not possible to sort lens table on dashboard, it is planned to be added in one of the upcoming releases.

At the moment you can click `Inspect` for Lens table sort column in popup view.

what version are you on? you can sort on Lens tables in **edit** mode (and it will persist on view) after 7.13 I believe. We allow sorting on view mode in an upcoming release (8.1)
