In Multi-column List View, on my laptop MacBook M1 Pro, I am editing a long list of items that are in order by Group (Class), then 3 sort fields.
I am going through this list and adding information to each record and adding records as I go which are in the order I encounter them.
When I add a record that is mostly like the last one I worked on, I use the “Command D” to duplicate the last record I worked on.
The new record inserted is sometimes positioned after that record I was on which keeps them in order. Sometimes it is positioned before the record I was working on and therefore out of order after I add the new information.
Is there a way to have this “Command D” consistent and add the duplicated record after the record it was duplicated from?
Hi Glen,
Unfortunately when two records have the exact same values, there’s no determination of which record should come first because the sorting is non-deterministic at that point. So there’s nothing I can think of at the moment that I can do about that.
Sorry.

The only thing you could do is add a Date Created field type to your form and sort by that. Then Tap Forms would have something unique to sort by.
That sounds ok, except I have to sacrafice my 3rd sort. I suppose there isn’t another sort field?
I’m already using Group by Records and then 3 sorts.
