# Sort & limit

{% embed url="<https://youtu.be/MAOOFUXjNLY>" %}

It often makes sense to sort records that are shown in views - for example, alphabetically by their name. Sometimes we also want to limit the number of records that get shown in views as well.

In this video, learn how to:

* Sort records by a particular field (e.g. alphabetically A-Z)
* Limit the number of records that get shown on a page
* Use pagination to move to the next page of records
* Toggle off pagination to prevent users seeing more records
* Sort the order of groups of records when grouping by a particular field
