Filtering helps you focus on the symbols that matter by controlling which columns are visible and how the list is sorted.

To filter or sort:

  1. Hover over any column header — such as Last, Change, or Chg%.
  2. Click once to sort ascending, click again to reverse.
    A tooltip appears: “Click to sort by [Column Name] ↑/↓” showing current order.
  3. Click the ⋮ (three dots) next to the column headers to open filter options.
  4. In the filter menu, tick or untick the columns you want to show:
    • Last
    • Change
    • Change %
    • Volume
Tip: Sorting applies only to visible columns. Hidden ones won’t affect the order.
