Sort Configuration

Configure sorting options for the item list — choose which sort fields to display and their order.

Plain Language

Sort configuration lets you "customize your sort menu." You can choose which sorting options to show (e.g., name, time, price) and rearrange their order in the menu. Hide the ones you don't need and put the ones you use most at the top.

Accessing Sort Configuration

In the item list, tap the sort icon (up/down arrows)
Tap the settings icon in the top right corner of the sort panel
Enter the Sort Configuration page

Sort Field Types

Built-in Sort Fields

Default sort fields provided by the system:

Name: Sort by item name alphabetically
Created Time: Sort by when the item was added
Updated Time: Sort by when the item was last modified
Price: Sort by item price attribute

Custom Sort Fields

Custom attributes you create also appear in the sort options:

Such as "Expiry Date," "Purchase Date," "Brand," etc.
Custom attributes are hidden by default and need to be manually enabled
Membership Feature: Enabling custom attribute sorting requires a membership

Tip

Custom attributes display their full path to avoid confusion with same-named attributes. For example, "Food / Expiry Date" instead of just "Expiry Date."

Configuration Options

Enable / Disable Sort Fields

Each sort field has a toggle switch on the right
Toggle on = the field appears in the sort menu
Toggle off = the field does not appear in the sort menu

Reorder Fields

Each field has a drag handle on the left
Long press and drag to rearrange the field order
Fields at the top of the list appear first in the sort menu

Save Configuration

After making changes, tap the save icon in the top right corner
The configuration is saved locally
The sort menu will reflect the new configuration next time you open it

Using Sort

After configuration, use the sort panel:

Tap a sort field
First tap: Sort by that field in descending order (largest to smallest)
Tap the same field again: Switch to ascending order (smallest to largest)
The arrow icon indicates the current sort direction

Use Cases

Scenario 1: Simplify the Sort Menu

If you only use "Created Time" and "Price" for sorting:

Go to Sort Configuration
Keep only these two fields enabled
Disable all other fields
The sort menu becomes clean and simple

Scenario 2: Put Frequently Used Sorts First

If you often sort by "Expiry Date":

Go to Sort Configuration
Drag "Expiry Date" to the top
It will be the first thing you see when opening the sort menu
No need to scroll through a long list

Scenario 3: Sort by Custom Attribute

If you want to sort by "Purchase Date":

Make sure the "Purchase Date" attribute has been created
Go to Sort Configuration and enable that attribute
Save the configuration
Select "Purchase Date" in the sort menu

FAQ

Why can't I see custom attributes?

Possible reasons:

Custom attributes are disabled by default — you need to manually enable them in Sort Configuration
Non-members cannot enable custom attribute sorting
The attribute hasn't been used on any items yet

Sort configuration not taking effect after saving?

Sort configuration is saved on the local device. You'll need to reconfigure it if you switch devices.

How do sort directions work?

Ascending (arrow up): Smallest to largest — e.g., earliest to latest, lowest to highest price
Descending (arrow down): Largest to smallest — e.g., latest to earliest, highest to lowest price
