it is extremely easy to sort items or

00:00:07

display only those of interest by filtering them.

00:00:10

From a column header I can directly access via the dropdown menu,

00:00:14

the option to sort alphabetically or in reverse alphabetical order

00:00:18

with a single click.

00:00:21

The list is instantly sorted.

00:00:23

In the case of a shared list,

00:00:24

the active sorts and filters do not apply to other users.

00:00:28

Depending on the type of column being sorted,

00:00:30

Microsoft Lists will offer chronological sorting for date

00:00:33

columns or ascending descending sorting for numeric columns.

00:00:39

Another available option is filtering,

00:00:41

which allows me to display only the items that interest me.

00:00:45

By clicking on the header of a column.

00:00:47

The filter by option opens a pane on the right,

00:00:50

enabling me to select which items to include.

00:00:53

The active filter will appear in the top left

00:00:56

with a cross icon to remove the criterion.

00:01:00

When multiple filters are applied.

00:01:04

They are displayed the same way in the top left,

00:01:06

with an option to clear all filters at once with a single click.

00:01:11

To improve readability,

00:01:13

it is also possible to visually group items.

00:01:16

For example,

00:01:17

in this case,

00:01:17

I find the group by rating option.

00:01:21

I can then use the small arrow to collapse certain groups

00:01:24

and display a total number of items in my list,

00:01:26

in addition to the number already shown beside each group.

00:01:32

I also have the option to collapse or expand all groups with a single click.

00:01:38

To ungroup,

00:01:39

I simply deactivate the option in the corresponding column.

00:01:44

To sort and filter more quickly or globally,

00:01:47

it is also possible to use the icons located on the right hand side.

00:01:52

The filter pane will then display all filterable criteria

00:01:56

regardless of the column.

00:01:58

And for sorting and grouping,

00:02:00

a direct access to the list of fields for instant application.
