Drafts, Filtering & Sorting

You can use the “Show Drafts Only” toggle in the sidebar to filter the file list so it shows only draft files. This filter works across all subdirectories within the current collection. Files are automatically detected as drafts when their draft frontmatter field (or configured equivalent) is set to true.

The 'Show Drafts Only' toggle limits the list to drafts; the header changes colour while it's active.

Filtering

You can also filter the list by typing. Click the filter button and start typing — the list narrows to files whose filename or title matches what you’ve entered (matching is case-insensitive). The sidebar header changes colour while a filter is in place.

Filtering matches against both the filename and the title field.

Sorting

By default, files are sorted by publication date, newest first. This uses whichever date field is configured for the collection — the date field by default, which you can change in preferences. Files without a date appear at the top of the list.

Pick the sort field from the dropdown. For every option except Default, an arrow button beside it flips the direction between ascending and descending.

The sort menu lists the built-in options plus any date fields from the collection's schema.

These sort options are always available:

• Default — publication date, newest first, with undated files at the top
• Title — the configured title field, alphabetically
• Filename — the filename, alphabetically
• Last Modified — when the file was last changed on disk

On top of those:

• Every date field in the collection’s schema gets its own option (a publishedDate field appears as “Published Date”, for example).
• If the schema has a numeric field named order, you’ll also get an Order option.
