Filtering, Sorting, and Search
Large grids can be filtered, sorted, and searched to focus on the rows you care about. These controls affect the view only ā no data is deleted or reordered permanently until you drag rows manually.
Search
The search bar at the top right of the grid filters rows in real time as you type.
- Search matches any cell in any visible column
- Matching is case-insensitive
- Rows that don't match are hidden (not deleted)
- Press Escape or clear the search field to show all rows again
Sorting
Click any column header to sort by that column:
- First click ā ascending (A ā Z, 0 ā 9, earliest ā latest)
- Second click ā descending
- Third click ā removes the sort (returns to original row order)
A sort arrow in the column header indicates the active sort direction. Only one column can be sorted at a time.
Tip: Sorting is a view-only operation ā it doesn't change the stored row order. Your row order is preserved when you clear the sort.
Filtering
Filtering lets you narrow rows by the value in a specific column.
To add a filter
- Click the Filter button in the grid toolbar
- Select the column to filter on
- Choose a condition: Contains, Equals, Is empty, or Is not empty
- Enter a value (where applicable) and click Apply
Multiple filters
Multiple filters can be active simultaneously. Rows must match all active filters (AND logic). The active filter count is shown on the Filter button.
Clearing filters
Click Clear all in the filter panel, or click the ā on an individual filter chip.
