Sorting Options Explained

1. Sort Type

2. Sort Direction

Available for Value and Date sorts:

  • Ascending (ASC): From smallest to largest / oldest to newest

3. Show Options (Top Items)

When a sorting option (Value or Date) is applied, an additional filter appears:

These options allow you to quickly display only the most relevant entries.
