Ok quick noob question.
I have four priorities for tasks. These priorities are chosen by a dropdown box.
Critical
High
Normal
Low
I have a repeating group of tasks which I want to sort by priority level as seen above. How would I go about doing this?
On the conditional tab of a repeating group you can set a condition and then have it change the data source. In my case I have a custom state on the group that changes when each drop down item is selected. You can then set a data source condition for each priority.
How would this look. I am getting red errors when I try to do this.

A few suggestions…
Store the priority as “1 - Critical”, “2 - High” then sort on that.
Store the priority as a number, and then programtically translate to your text.
Store these as a Data Type, with values. Then display the “name”.
So …
Data Type : Priority.
Priority (Number), Text (Text).
1, “Critical”
2 : “High”
etc
On your Task you have Priority (field type Priority). Have a dynamic dropdown pulling back Priority.
Then sort by Task’s Priority’s number. But you display Task’s Priority’s Text.

Option 1 worked great. Seemed the easiest path forward.
Thanks!
