Sorting and filtering tables

Most list pages in ScaleVault support the same controls:

  • Animals
  • Species
  • Feedings
  • Handlings
  • Events
  • Clutches
  • Pairings
  • Lineages
  • Feeder types and colonies

Sort a column

In table view, click a column header to sort by that column.

  • First click: ascending
  • Second click: descending
  • Click a different header to switch sort columns

Filter a specific column

Each filterable header has a filter button.

  1. Click the filter button in the header.
  2. Enter or select your filter value.
  3. Click Done.

Active filters are highlighted so you can see which columns are narrowed.

Typed filters

Columns use the filter input that best matches the data:

  • text: free text contains match
  • select: exact match from known values (for example sex, status, species)
  • date: single date
  • number: single numeric value
  • date-range: start and end date
  • number-range: minimum and maximum value

Some fields include Unknown as a selectable value when the data can be missing.

Combine filters

Column filters are combined with AND logic.

Example: filter species = Ball Python and sex = female and weight between 900 and 1500.

Card view sorting

In card view (including mobile), use the Sort by dropdown and direction toggle to control card ordering.

Clear filters

Open a column filter popover and click Clear to remove that column's filter.

Notes

  • Filtering and sorting apply before pagination.
  • If no rows match, clear one filter at a time to broaden results.
