New sorting exposes entire(?) table's fields

Just experimenting with the new filters UIs and noticed this – if you let users Sort, they can use any field regardless of whether it’s used on that interface or not.

Naturally this is both a poor experience for the user and an unpredictable leak of data from the backend.

Ideally you would either:

  • Let users sort on “any visible field” (this is what Airtable does FWIW)
  • Let the builder predefine a list of fields for users to choose from

For now I’ll be trying to hunt down and turn off this feature everywhere(!)

Hey @Russ it should only be showing the other fields available in the view - we’ll take a look at this ASAP

Hey @Russ this should be resolved now, only visible fields (with read permissions) are shown in the dropdown. Thanks for flagging it
