Is there a way to get a SwiftUI Table to be able to sort by a column of optionals? You can extend Optional for your specific case. For example, if you are trying to sort by an optional Int: extension Optional where Wrapped == Int { var sortOrder: Int { switch self { case let .some(wrapped): wrapped case .none: Int.max } } } Then your TableColumn would look like this: TableColumn("Count", value: \.count.sortOrder) { if let count = $0.count { Text(String(count)) } } If count is nil, it will be sorted as if its value is Int.max and the column will be blank for that row.
