# projectedValue A binding to the request’s mutable configuration properties. ``` @MainActor @preconcurrency var projectedValue: Binding.Configuration> { get } ``` ## Discussion SwiftUI returns the value associated with this property when you use [`FetchRequest`](/documentation/SwiftUI/FetchRequest) as a property wrapper on a [`FetchedResults`](/documentation/SwiftUI/FetchedResults) instance, and then access the results with a dollar sign (`$`) prefix. The value that SwiftUI returns is a [`Binding`](/documentation/SwiftUI/Binding) to the request’s [`FetchRequest.Configuration`](/documentation/SwiftUI/FetchRequest/Configuration) structure, which dynamically configures the request. For example, consider the following fetch request for a type that the sample code project defines to store earthquake data, sorted based on the `time` property: ``` @FetchRequest(sortDescriptors: [SortDescriptor(\.time, order: .reverse)]) private var quakes: FetchedResults ``` You can use the projected value to enable a [`Table`](/documentation/SwiftUI/Table) instance to make updates: ``` Table(quakes, sortOrder: $quakes.sortDescriptors) { TableColumn("Place", value: \.place) TableColumn("Time", value: \.time) { quake in Text(quake.time, style: .time) } } ``` Because you initialize the table using a binding to the descriptors, the table can modify the sort in response to actions that the user takes, like clicking a column header. --- Copyright © 2026 Apple Inc.
