# “Read” shortcode can’t sort

 * I have set up our jurying form and it is working well. We have an entry code 
   as the first column, and the jurors can sort by this column so that they group
   entries together for the same person. Now, I am trying to set up a rating “read”
   view for the committee. In the “read” view, the ability to sort by the column
   with a single entry is not there. Is this by design? It would be nice to be able
   to sort the entries in the “read” view.
 * Or…is there a way for me to define what field the entries are sorted in on a 
   rating when they first come up?

 * So long as your page only contains a single shortcode, you should be able to 
   sort by any single column. Does the column header show as a (blue)link, or just
   as plain black text?
 * Currently, it is not possible to sort on a column that contains more than one
   field (ie where one field has “append to previous column” checked ). Could that
   be your problem?
 * Eventually, when I can find time, I hope to remove some of those restrictions.
 * (I’m not sure I understand what you mean by “the column with a single entry”.)
