​
Default Sort

By default, contracts are sorted by Created Date in descending order (newest first). This shows your most recently uploaded contracts at the top.

​
Clearing the Sort

  1. Click the Sort button
  2. Click Clear to remove the sort
  3. Contracts return to default ordering (newest first)

​
Combining with Filters

Sorts work together with filters:
  1. Apply filters to narrow down contracts
  2. Apply a sort to order the filtered results
  3. Both settings work independently

​
Best Practices

Use “Created Date” descending to see your newest uploads first.
Group similar contracts together by sorting on “Type”.
Filter by “Completed” status, then sort by the field most relevant to your task.

Filters

Filter contracts before sorting.
