Salesforce data. The Fields in VQB seem to be sorted by Created Date. How can I sort them by Fields Name instead?  I m tired of scrolling through all the fields...

Hi @latimo1 from my understanding, you can't sort the field names in the visual query builder. To speed things up, one option could be to make a basic query in the VQB and then go to the SQL editor tab and add in your fields/make edits there. Here's an example (apologies this video is old): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJjAiAHtCuc
