In this example, we will first create a data list, which can then be made sortable with the `sortingEnable` function.

### Steps

1. First, add a "Enable Sorting" button and a datalsit component to the page.

2. To load data into the datalist, we will need to create the following event flow.

   ![](/files/6MNbYZM1IiT7Y46g9RDf)

   a. For the `dataFromString` function

   ![](/files/kuUrdqt1uwJk417E3DV5)

   | Field   | Value                            |
   | ------- | -------------------------------- |
   | dataset | l\_user                          |
   | string  | ![](/files/hfb5DpeZmuXkyTctvNTp) |

   b. For the `loadData` function ![](/files/LzN5tC4gEMEqGUtfFFbg)
3. Finally, for our "Enable Sorting" button, we will add the `sortingEnable` function when the button is clicked.
