It would be so comfortable to find the columns and measures from Tabular model while creating the report using Tabular model. It feels annoying to create report and find the measure into entire model by scrolling where even u can't minimize one table on tabular model.

Being able to sort the field list either alphabetically, or by the order of fields in the model would all help this as well.

It would be great help from you guys..!!

RE: Search for fields and sort the field list

Hi Will. I'm not able to Search for fields (not the content of the fields), when is this functionality going to be made available? I've seen something similar in the Desktop tool.

RE: Search for fields and sort the field list

Is there an update on this feature? Search on the field list would be great as typical Tabular models have many measures and attributes.

RE: Search for fields and sort the field list

If you're importing some data (from Visual Studio Online, for example) and you are presenting with a large number of fields which are split across a number of different tables, it can be difficult to find the exact fields that you want. Adding a search bar to this would make navigation much easier.

Table order and field list in a table displays in alphabetical order. We would like to see the fields in the order created in the Model. This applies to the filters list for the view too.

RE: Search for fields and sort the field list

It's difficult to use the field list with large models. Tables are displayed in what appears to be time created order, which is frustrating. Alpha sort would be much easier as a default, custom sorting would be awesome as well. The tables should allow collapse/expand to hide attributes, I get lost in the field list every time I use it. :-(
