# Filter, sort and group tasks

> Use quick filters, field filters, sorting, grouping and list columns to find the tasks you need in a project.

The toolbar above a project's tasks narrows down what you see, in every view. Your choices last while you work in the project and reset when you leave it. They change only what you see, never the tasks themselves.

## Show pending or all tasks

Choose **All pending tasks** to hide done tasks, or **All tasks** to see them too. A project opens with done tasks hidden.

## Filter tasks

1. Choose **Filter**.
2. Under **Quick Filters**, choose **Assigned to me**, **Past due** or **Due this week**.
3. Or choose a value under **Status**, **Priority**, **Assignee**, **Team**, **Sprint** or **Created By**. **Sprint** only appears in projects with sprints.

Each filter you choose narrows the tasks further: a task shows only when it matches all of them. **Assigned to me** also includes tasks waiting for your approval.

The **Filter** button shows how many filters are on, and the filters appear next to the toolbar. Choose the cross on one to remove it, or **Clear all filters** in the filter panel to remove them all.

## Sort tasks

1. Choose the sort button next to **Filter**. It shows the current order.
2. Choose **Due Date**, **Assignee**, **Created**, **Modified**, **Completed**, **Priority** or **Alphabetical**.

Choose the same field again to reverse the order. Tasks are sorted by due date at first, earliest first.

## Group tasks in the list

Grouping works in the **List** view.

1. Choose **Group**.
2. Choose **Status**, **Priority**, **Assignee**, **Team**, **Stage** or **Sprint**.

The list now shows a heading with a count for each group. Choose **None** to show one list again.

## Choose the list columns

1. In the **List** view, choose **Columns**.
2. Choose a column to show or hide it, for example **Team**, **Stage** or **Created**.

A check mark shows which columns are on.
