Hi,

I am currently using the system.dataset.exportCSV to export data from a power table to CSV.  
This, however, exports the raw data as apposed to the filtered and sorted data the the user has arranged.  
Is there a way to export this filtered and sorted version of the dataset?

Thank you in advance,

John

Currently there is no way to do that. This does appear to be a feature that could possibly be available in 7.8

This was implemented in V7.8.0  
You now have the option for the raw data

```auto
filePath = system.dataset.exportCSV(strDefaultName, 1, table.data)
```

Or the option for the sorted and filtered data.

```auto
filePath = system.dataset.exportCSV(strDefaultName, 1, table.viewDataset)
```
