SharePoint Online & Power Apps performance improvments..

Question

Hi , I have a power apps canvas application with a gallery that sort SharePoint list items by Modified & Created Date, where i can dynamically chose the sort field. the SharePoint list contain around 1,250,000 items, And around 3 years ago when i built the app, showing the items when the app loads was taking around 5-6 seconds, i tired this today and it loads the data in less than 2 seconds. so has SharePoint online and power apps performance improved in the last 3 years? is there any graph ?

Second question, also 3 years ago when i tried to add an index column to the list i got an error that i can not add an index on a large list, but today i were able to add a new index to the list which contain more than 1 million items .. so has this improved also?

Thanks

Hi @john john Pter，

The max number of index has been increased to 20 million items as default and you could increase the number by contact Microsoft Support. You could refer to the document

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/search-limits

While I don't have a graph about sharepoint and power app improved display large data list, I can confirm that Microsoft has been consistently working on enhancing the performance and scalability of their cloud services like SharePoint Online and Power Apps.
