Sorting Arrays and Retrieving Top Ranked Values in SQL

·

Hey there -- I’m looking up records in another table that each have a ranked score (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc.). When pulling multiple rows from that table, I need to sort the resulting array by this ranking and return only the row with a score of 1. Is it possible to sort within an array and return just one value?

Yes, you can achieve this using the "Filter List of Objects" integration to filter by your ranking field, or the "Order a list" integration to sort your array by the ranking values. After sorting, you can extract just the first item (with score of 1) from the resulting array. Alternatively, use "Lookup Rows" with a filter operator to directly find rows where the score equals 1.
