Sorting records

A sort decides the order records appear in. Like filters and grouping, it lives on the view, so your ordering is yours unless the view is shared.

Sorting a view

1. Open view settings

   Click the gear icon to the right of the view tabs.

2. Choose Sort

   Under Data, click Sort.

3. Pick a field and a direction

   Ascending or descending. Ascending means A→Z, smallest first, earliest first, unchecked before checked.

   

4. Stack more sorts

   Add a second sort and it breaks ties in the first: priority descending, then due date ascending, gives you the most urgent work with the soonest deadlines at the top of each priority band.

Remove a sort with Delete sort on its row.

How sorting interacts with everything else

• Filters run first. Sorting only orders what survived the filter.
• Grouping outranks sorting. With a group set, records are sorted within each section; the section order comes from the group’s own sort setting. See Grouping records.
• No sort means manual order. With no sorts configured, records keep the order you drag them into. Adding a sort takes that control away — remove the sort to get manual dragging back.
