Sort Instantly Smartsheet by Status - Auto Sort Priority

Keep your rows sorted automatically when status changes
  • Automatically re-sort by your Status column the moment a status changes so high priority rows stay at the top.
  • Save your Status sort once and SSFeatures reapplies it after edits, form entries, pasted rows, or deletions.
  • Save hours each week on repeat tasks.

I'm going to show you how to enable automatic sorting in Smartsheet. First, download SSFeatures. Then open your sheet in Grid view. Right click the column that you want to sort. Click \"Sort Rows\". Click the \"Sort Automatically\" checkbox. Click \"OK\". Automatic sorting is ready to go. Whenever you add new data into your sheet, SSFeatures will automatically sort the data for you. This will save you a lot of time.
Use Cases
Team Collaboration - When multiple teammates update a shared Smartsheet, SSFeatures ensures the sheet stays consistently sorted for you, no matter who makes changes.
Form Submissions - If you collect data using Smartsheet Forms, new entries are automatically slotted into the correct order, so you don’t waste time re-sorting manually.
Data Management - For sheets with frequent updates (like project trackers, task lists, or inventory logs), automatic sorting keeps your data structured and easy to read at all times.
Frequently Asked Questions

"We wouldn't love Smartsheet nearly as much without SSFeature's PDF Generator!! Our business depends on printed Smartsheet reports. SSFeatures has allowed us to successfully continue scaling on Smartsheets without printing workarounds. Our team members that rely on our reports are way happier ever since we started using the PDF Generator. It's great to see there are 3rd parties willing to fill critical gaps in Smartsheet."

So grateful to SSFeatures for the Auto-Sort function that has dramatically improved our experience with DataShuttle > Update Dropdowns feature so they are always alphabetized.

"All the SS Features are great but for us the PDF Generator was a huge game changer, a large percentage of our work depends on printed reports and the support of PDF generation for smartsheet reports while keeping the grouping & summaries was a must have."
