I like to put these conditionals in the repeating group.

In “Conditionals in the repeating group” have something like:

When dropdown sort’s value is “date (newest…)” then DATA SOURCE is “Do search for … [same search but have the sort be by date”

And then do the same thing for each “sort” option have a different DATA SOURCE for the Repeating group.

Goodluck! 😃

You got this!

For the highest to lowest vote, you’ll do  
Sort by **Vote**  
( Descending = Yes for High to low) (Descending = No for low to high)

So the newest to oldest, you’ll do  
sorty by: **date**  
(And I get mixed up with the descending for dates so test which is the correct.)
