How do I filter, sort and group rows?

Use Filters, Sort by and Group by in the database header.

Checked against Terra 0.1.0
  1. Open the database view.
  2. Click Filters, then Add condition. Choose a field, a test such as is or contains, and a value.
  3. Add more conditions, or click Add group for a nested set. Click the And between conditions to change it to Or or Not.
  4. Click Sort by and pick a field. Choose Ascending or Descending below it.
  5. Click Group by and pick a field. On a Board the button reads Show boards as, and the field sets the columns.

Shortcut: none

Other ways

  • In View preferences, the Sort button at the top takes several rules, each with Empty first or Empty last.
  • The Group tab in View preferences adds a Subgroup, Show empty groups and Hidden groups.

Good to know

  • Filters, sorts and groups belong to the view. Other views of the same database keep their own.
  • Changes from the header save to the view at once. While View preferences is open, they wait for Save view.
  • A filter hides rows in one view. To change which notes the database holds, edit View preferences › Database › Assembly.
  • Clear all in Filters removes every condition.
