#### **Filter & Sort**

Filter posts by those most relevant to you and sort how they appear.

**Category:**  Click on the preferred categories to display the posts tagged with the selected categor&#x79;*.*

**Posted In:** Select which posts you see by where they have been posted. You can choose to view all posts by the Company, My Team, Company and My Team, Specific Teams (more than 1 can be selected), Pinned, or see All posts.&#x20;

**How is this selection affected by where the widget is located?**

The behavior of the posts widget within the **company space** and **Home Module** is influenced in the following manner:&#x20;

* **Company and My Teams** - The widget will display company-wide posts and those within  teams of which the user is a member.
* **All** - This option will show both company-wide posts and team posts **including** those in public teams of which the user is **not** a member.
* **Company Only** - This option limits the display to only company-wide posts.
* **My Teams Only** - This option limits the display to only teams of which the user is part.

Similarly, the post widget's behavior within a **team** follows a parallel pattern:&#x20;

* **Company and My Teams** - The widget will display posts published to **company-wide** and those within the teams of which the user is a part.
* **All** -  This narrows the display to posts **specifically within the team** where the widget is located- <mark style="color:red;">this is the sole distinction in behavior when compared to other locations of the widget.</mark>
* **Company Only** - This option showcases **exclusively** company-wide posts sent to everyone.
* **My Teams Only** - This option will show posts from **all** teams of which the user is associated.
  {% endhint %}

**Post Type:** Filter by the type of post. You can choose Regular posts, Announcements, Must Read, and Alerts. Choose **x None** to continue seeing all types of posts.&#x20;

**Sort:** Choose which posts you would like to see first:

* **Recent on Top*****:*** The most recently published posts are displayed first in the list.
* **Most Viewed First:** The posts with the most views are displayed first in the list.
