When a linked record field is added to the Record Details widget, there is no option to sort the linked records. Please could you add the option to change the order in which they are displayed ie A-Z or Z-A

Yes there is. Modify field settings - bottom right.

Great to hear your perspective, Richard Hubbard! I have a few more questions for you:
- What specific criteria or attributes would you like to use for sorting the linked records?
- How frequently do you anticipate needing to change the sort order of linked records?
- Are there any specific use cases or scenarios where sorting linked records would be particularly beneficial?

The issue I have is with a linked table which has records added over a period of time, so when viewing these records in a dashboard, it would be more useful to have the most recent at the top rather than at the bottom. There is not appear to be any mechanism to change the sort order when adding a field to the dashboard and I assume it just uses the order in which the records were created - which is not always the most useful
