# Default sort for table widgets

When creating a table widget, you have the option to set a default sort your table should have when it initially gets displayed on a dashboard, for example. 

But what happens when on Dashboard A, you want to use your created Widget and are happy with the default sort defined in the widget, but on Dashboard B you would rather have another default sorting? Well, we've got you covered!

You can override any default sort defined in your table widget in every dashboard. To do that, navigate to any dashboard that has a **sortable table widget**. 

Switch to dashboard edit mode, select the table widget for which you want to change the default sort, and switch to the **Widget** tab on the right sidebar.

Here you will find a section called **Default sort settings**, where you are able to set any column of your table widget and any sort order to be used as the default sort.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://manual.senseforce.io/manual/sf-platform/dashboards/default-sort-for-table-widgets.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
