# Sorting and Filtering the Contract Request List Screens

**COBBLESTONE SOFTWARE**

Contract Insight — User Guide

**Sorting and Filtering the Contract Request List Screens**

*09. End Users: Contract Requests › Searching Contract Requests › Sorting and Filtering the Contract Request List Screens*

**Note:** Each procedure in this guide begins at the Contract Insight homepage, so any section can be followed on its own. Custom fields are configurable, so the exact field list on a contract category record may vary between environments.

# 1. Overview

Column headers on the Requests list (Number, Request Title, Company Name, Department, Full Name, Updated, etc.) each include a **filter** icon that opens a per-column **filter** control — an operator dropdown (such as contains/equals, or greater-than/less-than/between for numeric and date columns) paired with a value input box, applied via a **Filter** button and cleared via a **Clear** button. Multiple column filters can be combined to narrow the 5,609-record list down to a specific subset. Clicking a column header (separately from its **filter** icon) sorts the list by that column; a small **sort**-direction indicator in the toolbar shows the current **sort**. This **filter**-and-**sort** combination is the live equivalent of the legacy wiki's list-screen guidance for finding specific requests without paging through the full list manually.

# 2. Key Elements

- Every column on the Requests list grid (Number, Request Title, Company Name, Department, Full Name, Updated, and more) has its own **filter** icon opening an operator-plus-value **filter** control.
- **Filter** operators adapt to the column's data type — text columns offer contains/equals-style operators, while numeric and date columns offer greater-than/less-than/between-style operators.
- **Filter** and **Clear** buttons apply or reset a column's **filter**; multiple column filters can be layered together to narrow the list.
- Clicking a column header sorts the grid by that column, with a **sort**-direction indicator reflecting the current **sort** in the toolbar.
- These per-column controls work alongside the top-of-page **Search** box and **Fields** scope selector for finding specific requests across the full 5,609-record list.
