There is no option to sort a column by another one

Hi, I need some help.

I'am trying to sort the "MesAno" Column by  the Data Column (the first one) , but the app is not showing this option. Can anybody help me?

Thanks, José.

@JoseJunior22 OK my best guess is that the Dados option that appears in your list is the Data column. It's almost like some element of metadata or a metadata translation has been added to the column definition and that is showing up on one place but not the other. That's my best guess as to what is happening but I am about 99.9999% certain that Data and Dados are the same column.

Is it a bug of the app?

@JoseJunior22 Having trouble seeing your image. Any chance you can post a bigger/larger image or one more focused on just the top portion of the image? What is the data type of the first column?

The first column is a date type as you can see below:
