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 today

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.

  • Apply filters: From the top menu, click Filter (or go to Options → Filter) to add conditions.

  • Use multiple filters: Combine filters to narrow your view to submissions that match several conditions at once (e.g., “Status = Approved” AND “Priority = High”).

  • Remove filters: Clear any active filters to return to the full list of submissions.

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.
