Sort Devices

Change the order in which devices appear on the Devices page. Sorting works identically in both Card view and List view.

How to sort​

  1. On the Devices page, locate the Sort by control in the toolbar (left side, above the device list).
  2. Open the dropdown and pick a field:
    • Device ID — numeric device ID (e.g. #109).
    • Name — alphabetical by device name.
    • Barcode — alphanumeric barcode order.
    • Date Added — when the device record was created.
    • Last Modified — when the record was last updated.
  3. Toggle the direction using the arrow icon next to the dropdown:
    • Ascending (↑) — A→Z, oldest→newest, 1→9.
    • Descending (↓) — Z→A, newest→oldest, 9→1.

Defaults and persistence​

  • Default order — new tenants start with Device ID, descending, so the most recently added device is always at the top of the list.
  • Session-scoped — your chosen sort is remembered for the duration of your session. It resets to the default on next login.

Tips​

  • Combining with filters — sorting is applied after filtering, so narrowing down with Category / Status / Assigned / Tags filters and then sorting gives you a focused, ordered subset.
  • Matches the Excel export — the Excel export uses the current sort order, so if you want a specific ordering in the exported file, apply it here first.
  • Keyboard-friendly — you can tab to the sort dropdown and use the arrow keys to change the selection without touching the mouse.
