Table filters

Trying to apply a table filter in order to sort a field by its values such as “1a, 1b, 2a, 2b, etc” and not only does the filter not return any data, it is also accompanied by the error:  “Error:unexpected token: ‘a’”. When the filter is off, the data shows.  

Filters won’t help you sort data. You can turn sorting by a particular field on/of by clicking on that field in the builder. You can also give your model a default sort order with 'Fields to order records by" in the model definition: http://help.skuid.com/m/models-conditions-filters/l/102544-what-is-a-skuid-model-the-basics
