I have a vtk file with lots of line elements. Each line element has a material definition given by a string entry defined as a field. In the spreadsheet view I often sort the elements by certain fields. This works fine for numerical values but doesn’t seem to work for the material entry. Is this a bug or simply not implemented as a feature?
Welcome to the ParaView community, @the_dense. It’s reasonable to expect sorting of string fields to work in the Spreadsheet View - the fact that it doesn’t work may have been an oversight. Could you please file this as a bug at https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview/-/issues/
