# Filters, Sort, Group, and Fields

Orchestra provides multiple ways to structure your projects and views efficiently. With filtering, sorting, and grouping options which you can find on the [Tasks Page](/pages-and-ui-elements/tasks-page.md), it's possible to quickly reorganize information and extract valuable insights. 

## Filters

To focus on specific projects or views, you can filter both List and Kanban layouts by any [Fields](/projects/fields.md#default-fields) and [Fields](/projects/fields.md#custom-fields) you have in a view or project. Also, you can apply single or multiple filters at the same time.

*To **restore default filter settings**, click the* `Reset` *button located:*

* *To the left of Filters, Sort, Group, and Fields panel , or*
* *In the Filters context menu.*

## Sorting

ou can apply sorting to each filter by clicking`Sort`  in the toolbar. Sorting allows you to arrange entities based on [Fields](/projects/fields.md#default-fields) and [Fields](/projects/fields.md#custom-fields) in both List and Kanban layouts.

You can sort data in two ways:

* By clicking a field name: 
  * One click sorts in ascending (A-Z) order;
  * Two clicks sort in descending (Z-A) order;
  * A third click removes sorting.
* From the toolbar: just click `Sort` in the toolbar and choose the relevant fields in the context menu.

When sorting by multiple fields, **priority in the sorting order  is given to the first selected field.**

## Grouping

Group entities within your workspace using the [Fields](/projects/fields.md#default-fields) and [Fields](/projects/fields.md#custom-fields):

**There are two grouping levels** that can be selected for grouping in List and Kanban layouts. 

For instance, to group data by Status and Assignee:

* Click `Group` in the layout toolbar;
* Select `Status` from the context menu;
* Choose the relevant status options in the panel on the right;
* Seect `Assignee` from the context menu;
* Pick the required team members from the panel on the right.

To undo changes, click the `Reset`button.

## Fields

Each project or view contains multiple fields that can be used for filtering, sorting, and grouping. To display only relevant information, use the `Fields` option in both List and Kanban layouts to show or hide specific fields:

* Click the checkbox next to a field name in the `Fields` context menu to toggle visibility;
* Reorder fields in both List and Kanban views by dragging them. Click and hold the **drag icon** next to the field name in the layout toolbar or `Fields` menu, then move it to the desired position.

To undo any changes, click the `Reset`button.

*Note: Applying different filtering, sorting, or grouping options **removes all existing nesting structures**.*
