You can now filter and sort your linked records in Softr Databases. Let me show you how it works.
Over in Softr Databases, we have a linked record here. Right now, if we go to click, we can add up to five values because we are pulling from the sales orders and we see all these five values.
But what if we wanted to limit that selection? In order to do that, what we can now do in Softr Databases is go to Edit Field and then go to Options.

If you are setting up data for the first time, check out Softr Databases. It is the powerful, native way to manage data directly within Softr for maximum performance and easier configuration of features like these.

We will see that we have the ability to sort the options. Sorting makes it so when you click into here, you could sort what shows up first. That is really cool.
Now, if you wanted to add filtering options, you can go to Options and go to Filter. Let's say we only want to show order amount or orders that have an amount greater than 1,000.
We will do that and save. Now there should be only three IDs here instead of five. When we pull them up, we have exactly three IDs.

Note from Softr: To skip the manual setup of fields and linked records, try the AI co-builder. It can generate your entire database schema and page layouts based on a simple prompt.

This gives you more control over how you are viewing the linked records and what linked records are appearing there to keep your database better structured. This provides a cleaner experience for managing complex data relationships.
I hope you enjoy this new update to Softr Databases. We cannot wait to see what you are going to build with it.
