# Grid, list, map, and sorting

Show your saves as masonry, a grid, a list, or a map, and sort them by date, name, type, or colour.

Every list in Savepad (a folder, a space, a tag, Unsorted, Favourites, a search) has the same toolbar at the top right.

![The Savepad list toolbar with the Colour button, the sort menu open on By type, and the masonry, grid, list, and map view buttons](https://savepad.app/shots/the-savepad-list-toolbar-with-the-colour-button-the-28f245.png)

Every list can sort six ways and show itself four ways.

## Four ways to look at things

- **Masonry**: cards at their own height, like a moodboard. Good for screenshots and ads.
- **Grid**: every card the same size. Tidier, and easier to scan titles.
- **List**: rows with the name, type, folders, tags, colours, and date. Best for a big import.
- **Map**: shows up when the list has [places or routes](https://savepad.app/docs/places-and-maps) in it. Every pin at once, with what’s in view beside it.

Pick your default in **Settings > Preferences** under **Show saves as**.

## Six ways to sort

**Newest first**, **Oldest first**, **A to Z**, **Z to A**, **By type**, and **By colour** (rainbow order, which is weirdly satisfying for a moodboard). The bin also has **Binned most recently** and **Going soonest**. Savepad remembers your sort.

Searches sort by best match instead.

## Colour

The **Colour** button shows only saves with a colour in them. Pick a swatch, and press **×** to see everything again. [Search by colour](https://savepad.app/docs/search#search-by-colour) has more.

## Hide the sidebar

Press **[** to hide the sidebar and give the saves the whole screen. Press it again to bring it back.
