About this lesson

NOTE: Quick Tip Fridays will be on hiatus for the summer. Subscribe to this channel for additional content. When you create a "Month" or "Day of the Week" column that shows the "name" instead of the "number", users cannot sort these columns appropriately and the behavior defaults to Alphabetical order. A common method is to use a number in front of the name like, "1. Jan", "5. May". However, this is not preferred from the user perspective. In this video, i'll show you how to create this ability to sort without adding a number in front of the text.
