Not a bug. It's not documented, it's just a feature that doesn't exist. I've moved this to the ideas repo.

In what situation do you need to sort form submissions?

Ah, gotcha. I was trying to build a "guestbook" page for a client—like from the websites of old. Their design had submissions with newest on top but it wouldn't respond to any sorting. I guess the example above tries to sort by a field...but I believe had tried date as well. That's good to know! Thanks 🙏

Any news on this? @jackmcdade

It would be super useful to be able to sort. We built a public guestbook for hike checkins with a shared form for all checkins.

If we could both sort and filter f.i. checkin:is="mount hood" sort="date:desc" it would open up all sorts of treats for the index (latest hikes) as well.
