Group, Sort, and Filter Tasks in ClickUp on Mobile
The ClickUp mobile app makes it easy to group, sort, and filter tasks in List view so you can quickly find what you need and keep work organized on the go.
This guide walks you step-by-step through using task groups, custom sorting, and flexible filters on your mobile device.
Access List View in the ClickUp Mobile App
To adjust how tasks are displayed, first open the correct location in your workspace.
- Open the ClickUp mobile app.
- Navigate to the Space, Folder, or List where your tasks live.
- Tap the view name at the top and select List if it is not already active.
All grouping, sorting, and filtering options described below apply specifically to List view on mobile.
Use ClickUp Task Groups in List View
Grouping lets you visually organize tasks into logical sections. Groups appear as collapsible rows that you can expand or hide to keep your view clean.
Open the ClickUp Grouping Menu
- In List view, tap the Group option in the toolbar at the top of the screen.
- A menu opens showing the fields you can use to group tasks.
Available Grouping Options in ClickUp Mobile
You can group your tasks by several task properties, depending on your workspace configuration:
- None: Show a simple list of tasks with no groups.
- Status: Organize tasks into groups for each status, such as To do, In progress, or Complete.
- Assignee: Group tasks by who they are assigned to.
- Priority: Organize by priority levels like Urgent, High, Normal, or Low.
- Due date: Group tasks by time frames, such as Overdue, Today, or Upcoming.
- Custom fields: If your workspace uses custom fields that support grouping, you may see them listed here.
After you select a grouping option, the List view refreshes and tasks are displayed in their new groups.
Collapse or Expand Task Groups
To manage screen space and focus on what matters most:
- Tap the arrow beside a group title to collapse it.
- Tap the arrow again to expand and show all tasks within that group.
This is especially helpful when you group by status or assignee and want to focus on a single portion of your work.
Sort Tasks in ClickUp List View on Mobile
Sorting changes the order of tasks inside your current groups or within the entire list if grouping is disabled.
Open the ClickUp Sort Menu
- From List view, tap Sort at the top of the screen.
- The sort panel appears with several options for ordering tasks.
Choose a Sort Option
You can sort tasks by several fields, such as:
- Due date: Show tasks from earliest to latest or reverse.
- Priority: Order tasks by priority level.
- Name: Sort alphabetically by task name.
- Date created: See the newest or oldest tasks first.
- Custom fields: Sort by available numeric or date custom fields when supported.
After selecting a field, choose Ascending or Descending order. The list updates immediately.
Remove Sorting
If you want to remove a sort and return to the default order:
- Tap Sort again.
- Clear the selected field or tap an option like Clear sort if it appears.
Once cleared, tasks return to their original or grouped order.
Filter Tasks in ClickUp List View on Mobile
Filters help you narrow down tasks so you only see items that match specific criteria, such as assignee, status, or due date.
Open the ClickUp Filter Menu
- While viewing tasks in List view, tap Filter in the toolbar.
- The filter panel opens with multiple filter options.
Common Filter Options in ClickUp
Depending on your configuration and permissions, you may see filters like:
- Assignee: Show only tasks assigned to specific people or teams.
- Status: Display only tasks with certain statuses.
- Priority: Focus on urgent or high-priority tasks.
- Due date: Filter by date ranges, such as tasks due today, this week, or overdue.
- Tags: Show tasks that match selected tags.
- Custom fields: Filter by supported custom fields configured in your workspace.
Tap each filter type to choose values and apply them instantly.
Combine Multiple Filters
You can apply more than one filter at a time. For example, you could display:
- Only high-priority tasks
- Assigned to you
- Due this week
The List view will show only tasks that match all active filters, making it easier to focus on the most important work.
Clear Filters
To see all tasks again:
- Tap Filter in the toolbar.
- Remove each filter value or use Clear filters if that option is available.
Once cleared, the full task list appears according to your current grouping and sorting settings.
Save Your Favorite ClickUp Views
After you set up the perfect combination of groups, sorts, and filters, you may want to save it for quick access.
- Configure your List view with the desired grouping, sorting, and filtering options.
- Tap the view name at the top of the screen.
- Look for options to Save or Update the view, depending on your permissions.
Saving your view lets you reopen the same configuration later from any device that supports it, so you do not have to rebuild your settings each time.
Tips for Using ClickUp on Mobile Efficiently
- Use simple groups: Group by status or assignee to quickly see who is working on what.
- Focus with filters: Combine filters like assignee and due date to build a focused task list.
- Limit active filters: If your list seems empty, check for filters that might be hiding tasks.
- Save shared views: When multiple people use the same workflow, saved views help keep everyone aligned.
