No matter how much information a database contains, it is useful only if you can locate the information you need when you need it. In a small database, you can find information simply by scrolling through a table until you find what you are looking for. However, as a database grows in size and complexity, locating and analyzing information becomes more difficult.
A sorted list helps users review and locate what they want without having to browse the data. You can fine-tune the results by sorting records on more than one field. Depending on the field data type (Short Text vs. Number, for example), your sorting choices change.
A filter changes the displayed view without altering the design of the object. You base filters on criteria, which identify the values you are interested in viewing for a field. When you apply the filter, only records that match your criteria are included in the view. The rest of the records are hidden until you remove the filter.
