In case like this our suggestion is to make some ranked column that will be hidden in front end.
In that column you will have numbers for example from 1 to 10. Let's say you already have 10 entries and you are adding 11th ( for this entry you want to be in the possition number 5) Just change the numbers from 11 to 5, and also change the old 5th column to 11th.
Also use Ranked column as a default sorting column.
In this case the Ranked column will be hidden in the front end and used as a default sorting column, which you will get the Alphabetical possition.
The only issue here is that you will need to manually change and add numbers in the ranked column.
Hi
I have setup a column to be URL Link but the sorting does not work correctly.
I saw a Comment on Codecanyon around 4 years ago and you said that it was not possible but you would look into it.
Is there a way to fix this?
Hi Eben,
Thank you for your purchase.
Sorry to disappoint you but unfortunately it is still not possible to sort the URL column for now.
This feature is on our TODO list and hopefully we will implement it soon.
Best regards.
Kind Regards,

Hi Bogdan
Thanks for your quick response.
Since I cannot use sort on the URL Link column I need to be able to move a new created row into its Alphabetical position, is this possible?

The thought of having to change the number for 100 rows in the racked column to add a new row to the top, filled me with despair :(
But then I realised that I could use Google Sheets as the linked source and I can just add the new row where ever I need :)
Looking forward to hopefully having the URL Link sorting issue fixed in the future
Thanks
