Introduction

The Odoo Sorting Record module provides a streamlined and flexible way to define and apply custom sort orders across various models in your system. Instead of relying on default sorting logic, you can configure sorting records to control how records appear in lists or views—by choosing fields and specifying ascending or descending order. This module empowers both administrators and users to ensure data is displayed in meaningful order, improving clarity and navigation in Odoo’s interface.
