How to sort and filter your submissions data

Organize your form responses with sorting and filtering, allowing you to focus on the submissions that matter most.

Updated over a week ago

To get started, open your project and go to the data block linked to your form (e.g., a Table, Kanban board, or Gallery). This is where your submissions are stored and displayed.

ℹ️️ If you don't have a data block yet, check our guides on how to add a table block or a kanban board to your project.


Sorting your submissions

You can sort records from the top menu above your table block or directly from column headers in a table.

  • Sort from menu: Hover over the block and click Sort above the table (or go to Options → Sort) to choose the column and direction (ascending or descending).

  • Sort from column headers (tables only): Hover over a column header and use the arrow that appears to sort by that column. The arrow will also show if the current sorting is ascending or descending.

  • Customize columns: If a column you’d like to sort by isn’t visible, go to Columns in the block menu and make sure it’s added.

ℹ️️ Sorting can be applied to Table blocks only.


Filtering your submissions

Filters let you display only the records that match specific conditions.

You can filter based on many different field types:

Choice fields:
Show only submissions where specific options were selected. You can include one option or multiple options at once, and use the contains or is equal to operators.

Text fields:
Filter by text values. Choose between contains or is equal to to find matching responses.

Number & CSAT fields:
Apply numeric conditions such as is equal to, greater than, less than, greater or equal, or less than or equal.

Date fields:
Set a date range and only see submissions where the selected date falls within that range.

How to apply filters:

  • From the top menu, go to Filter (or Options → Filter), click +Add Filter, and add your conditions,

  • Combine multiple filters to narrow your view further (e.g., Service type = Web Design OR Branding, AND Project urgency = Start within 1-2 weeks),

  • Remove any or all filters at any time to return to the full submissions list.

ℹ️️ Filters can be applied to Tables, Kanban boards, or Galleries.


Saving vs. temporary sorting and filters

  • View mode: Sorting and filtering here is temporary, perfect for quick lookups or ad-hoc analysis. When you refresh the page or leave and come back, your filters and sorting reset.

  • Edit mode: Sorting and filtering are saved automatically for that block. This means you can create multiple data blocks linked to the same form and keep each filtered or sorted in a different way (for example, separate tables for “Pending orders” and “Completed orders”).


✅ With these options, you can organize your submissions data exactly how you need – whether it’s a quick search during a meeting or a permanent filtered view for daily use.
