Hello,

I was told by Hubspot Support to post this idea to the forum, it’s very annoying that the Associated Companies property on Contacts is not sortable A-Z, can this please be implemented so we don’t require to make a duplicate property that can be sorted A-Z.

Thanks,

We just ran into this issue ourselves. Yes, you can export to Excel and do it, but why not add a filter to this field as well? We need to sort by our companies as well and save views/filters per Account Manager. It would be amazing to sort by Associated Company to get them looking at contacts within the same company while staying within HubSpot.

I agree - all lists of associated objects should be sortable, including alphabetical, or most ideally, providing a way for the user to click/drag associated items so they can be placed in a particular order. We have defined custom objects that are associated to Deals, and each deal has multiple records of these custom objects associated. In that case, there is a preferred order of how those objects should be displayed which is not alphabetical. Ability to sort would be a major improvement.
