# List and filters

The list shows cards as rows. Filters narrow the cards shown, while sorting and grouping change how you read them.

## Review a focused backlog

If you are planning a website release, filter to high-priority tasks and group by assignee. You can spot unassigned work without opening every card.

## Narrow the list

1. Open a project, open its view menu, and choose **List**.
2. Open **Filters** and choose a field such as **Assignee**, **Priority**, **Label**, **Type**, or **Status**. Pick the values you want.

3. Check the applied filter chips. Remove a chip to remove that filter, or use **Clear all** to clear the applied filters.
4. Type in **Search issues**, or press `/` to focus it. This narrows the current view. Use [Search](https://sprintree.com/docs/search) when you need the project's search results, including comments.

## Sort and group your rows

1. Use **Order** to choose **Priority**, **Last updated**, **Created**, **Key**, **Title**, or **Due date**.
2. Use **Group** to choose **Status**, **Priority**, **Assignee**, **Type**, **Parent**, or **No grouping**.
3. Open **Display options** when you need additional display choices, including whether to show sub-tasks.

## Tips and common mistakes

- Check whether sub-tasks are shown before assuming a nested task is missing.
- Select an epic before using the **Story** filter. That filter lists stories under the epics you selected.
- Filters appear in the address. Copy the URL to share the current selection with someone who has project access.
- Save a setup you use often as a [Saved view](https://sprintree.com/docs/saved-views).
