Hello,
I'm trying to sort a column by an index column, but keep getting an error message:
As far as I can tell I don't see any duplicates. I've done the remove duplicates and it only got rid of my null/blank spaces. Keeping the structure and order is important to the end user. Any advice?
@swebb ,
Please check this blog post, I hope it will help you.

Thanks,

@Arul Thanks for the reply, I've tried this, but with no luck. Same error occurs.
Hi @swebb
Can you provide that sample so I can try it and come back to you
