Hello Roman, 2024-03-04 For our use-cases these "sorting in filtering view" methods work well. **Using Table View** (Standard Method) - Switch to Table View in the Tickets Module - Go to Filter Mode, by clicking on the Filter Icon - Select the required filter criteria from the list of predefined ticket fields -  On the results page, click on the column header from the table view to sort the results based on the columns in the table view As there is no "multi-layered" filter (at time of writing) maybe this "workaround" will help you.   **Using Custom View** (Workaround Method) - Create a Custom Ticket view - Choose the required criteria to filter the ticket list (This acts as a filter to achieve a specific result), for sorting - Switch to Table view and click on column headers as mentioned in the Standard Method - This method allows you to choose any field in the ticket layout for a much more unique result Note: both "methods" are taken from (can be found in) the Zoho Desk knowledge-base.
