Hi @ashifreeshma,

Welcome to the community! I just tested your reported problem at both the instances viz. kobotoolbox.org (HHI Server) and the humanitarianresponse.info (OCHA Server) didn’t find any issue at my end. Could you once again verify it and post an image of the same.

Hi.
It seems to only occur when you try to sort on a column. When I filter on a column, that’s doesn’t seem to be causing the issue anymore. I can’t post a screen shot because it’s just a blank screen.

Our dataset has over 6000 records.

Does that help?

Thanks.

Hi @ashifreeshma,

Could you explain how you tried to sort the data from the DATA>Table? I assume the KoBoToolbox only has the filter option. However i am curious to if you have sorted the other way round.

Hi Kal_Lam,

This only occurs if I have a large dataset loaded in the table (in my case over 6000 records).
I am trying to sort by clicking the column header in the Table (The table allows for sorting by clicking on column headers)

See the attached screenshot where I am trying to click the “date_of_visit” column header.

Thank you.
