Sort, filter, paginate and search a list of entries
Sort and limit
- Select the list section and click the database icon on its items.
- Under Order and limit, set Sort by, Order and Limit.
- Publish the page.
Show only matching entries
- Under Static filters, click + add.
- Set Field, Type, such as contains or is, and Value.
- Publish the page.
Visitors don't see static filters. They only see the entries that match.
Add pagination
- Turn on Pagination and set Items per page. The default is 24, and the most is 100.
- Pick a Mode: Load more button or Infinite scroll.
- Publish the page. Each page of the list also gets its own address, such as /blog/page/2.
Let visitors filter or search
- Visitor filters: turn it on and pick Filter by, such as Category, and Display. Each value gets its own page, such as /blog/filter/guides.
- Search: turn it on, pick up to 5 Searchable fields and set No results text. Visitors get a search box above the list.
Limits
- A list without pagination shows up to 200 published entries. With pagination or filters, it shows up to 500.
- Pagination, filters and search work on supported list sections, such as Media Cards, Simple Media Grid and Text Grid. If you don't see the switch, the section doesn't support it.
- A list can filter by one field, with up to 50 values.
- Search covers this list only, keeps its sort order and stops at 100 characters.
- Infinite scroll loads three times, then shows a load more button.
Common questions
Why is my list empty?
A filter value may not match, or no matching entry is published. Check Static filters and publish an entry.
Why is a filter value missing?
It may belong only to unpublished entries, or fall past the first 50 values.
Why can't visitors find a word with search?
The word is in a field you didn't pick. Add that field to Searchable fields.
