## Sort
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Sorting allows you to order contents alphabetically (A → Z) / (Z → A) (OR) in ascending / descending order. NocoDB allows nested sorting. You can choose column fields & order in which to apply nested sorting. Lookup, Formula, Nested Data are also supported in Sorting.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Add / Edit sort
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Click on `Sort` button in the toolbar menu
|
||
|
|
- Select `Field` to sort by
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Configure sort `direction`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Multiple fields can be configured for subsequent level sorting
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Note: Field configured on the top will be used for first level sorting, followed by subsequent fields in top-down order
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Delete sort
|
||
|
|
- Click on `Sort` button in the toolbar
|
||
|
|
- Click on the bin icon to the right of the sort you wish to delete
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Filter
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Filters allow you to restrict / organize your data on the view as per your needs. NocoDB allows nested filters. You can choose multiple columns and conditions to apply filter. Between filters, you can opt for either `and` or `or` mode operation. Lookup, Formula, Nested Data are also supported in Filtering.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Add / Edit filter
|
||
|
|
Click on `Filter` button in the toolbar, select either `Add filter` or `Add filter group`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Configure filter : `Column` `Operation` and `Value` (if applicable)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Multiple filter conditions can be combined by using either `and` or `or` mode of operation
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Delete filter
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To delete a filter, click on the bin icon to the right of the associated filter
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Grouped filters
|
||
|
|
You can also group several filters together using Filter Group.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Enable NULL and EMPTY Filters
|
||
|
|
NULL filters (`is null` & `is not null`) and EMPTY filters (`is empty` & `is not empty`) are hidden by default. If you wish to filter out either one only, you may enable `Show NULL and EMPTY Filter` in Project Settings.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Otherwise, we can use Blank filters to filter out cells with NULL values and EMPTY values.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Supported Filters

||
|
|
|
||
|
|

## Group by
|
||
|
|
Group-by allows one to visually categorise records on grid into specific `Groups` & `Sub groups`. NocoDB allows three levels of record seggregation.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Add / Edit group-by
|
||
|
|
- Click on `Group By` in the toolbar
|
||
|
|
- Choose field for the records to be grouped by
|
||
|
|
- Optionally- you can also sort groups, in either ascending or descending way.
|
||
|
|
- Add sub-groups of upto 3 levels
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Delete group-by
|
||
|
|
- Click on `Group By` in the toolbar
|
||
|
|
- Click on the bin icon to the right of the group you wish to delete
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Note: To disable `Group by` & return back to standard spreadsheet grid view - you need to remove all the groups configured.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Row Height
|
||
|
|
NocoDB allows you to change height of records displayed on spreadsheet grid to 4 different levels `Short` (default), `Medium`, `Tall`, and `Extra`. This allows you to bring more content per cell to be displayed, useful when working with lengthy text columns and multi select fields.
