You can sort and filter contacts by numerous data points available to you in your account.

How to sort contacts

Sort contacts on the Contacts Overview page by Full Name, First Name, Last Name, Email Address, Account Name, Date Created, Contact Scores, and Deal Scores.

  The system is unable to sort more than 500k contacts at a time. If you have more than 500k contacts on the Contacts Overview page, we recommend using an Advanced Search to narrow your contacts to under 500k, then sort.

To sort contacts on a list:

  1. Click Contacts to navigate to the Contacts Overview page.
  2. Click any of the following default column headers to sort your contacts: Full Name, Email Address, Account Name, and Date Created.
  3. If you want to sort contacts by other data points, such as First Name, Last Name, Contact Score, or Deal Score:
    • Click the Gear in the column header row
    • Click the option you want to display on the Contacts Overview page
    • Click the column header for the newly added option to sort your contacts

      The Contacts Overview page will list contacts in order by the sort criteria you set.

 It is not possible to sort contacts by Custom Fields, Tags, Social, Job Title, or Phone.

How to filter contacts

In addition to sorting options, you can filter contacts on the Contacts Overview page. The filter options available are Tags, List, and Status (list status).

Use each filter option on its own or in combination with the other filter and sorting options available to you.

Note: you can only use one condition in each filter option.
