This was a nice feature in legacy galleries and grids–both search AND sort were optional. I’m creating a portal where users will see only their record to edit in some of the portal tables, so there’s nothing to actually sort. I would really like to be able to make it optional the way search is in the new portal.

Thank you for your feedback!

Since this was a small change, we were able to implement it quickly and just released it. You can now hide the sort button with the following option:
