# 6.2 Filtering and Sorting Posts

***

***Filters*** can be applied to narrow down a large amount of data. You can filter posts by many types of parameters, for example: ***Surveys, Sources, Categories, Status, Date Ranges, and Location.***

***Surveys and Sources*** filters are located on the left side of the toolbar, while ***other filters*** are located towards the top of the toolbar.

Filters are additive, so you can apply as many as you would like. This search filter is available on all pages.

***

Find the button to ***sort*** posts just before all the post cards or the post details in the data view. You can ***sort*** posts by:

* Date of creation
* Post date i.e date when it was assigned to a survey
* Date updated
