One of the best feelings when developing is making new discoveries and finding solutions to common problems you didn’t know how to solve before. In this week’s video, I present an overarching solution for managing the layout state of any layout within your application. I also introduce a highly useful method for both managing and executing a universal sort on any field present in the layout.

The combination of managing the layout state with the introduction of a universal sorting script will significantly reduce the number of scripts you need, while also guiding you toward providing a more rewarding user experience. Once you become comfortable using JSON to manage a wide variety of settings, you’ll be able to easily implement all kinds of useful features for layouts in your solution.
