Help: Sorting and Filtering


Sorting

TextExpander can sort your snippet library in a variety of ways, either alphabetically or chronologically, based on the Sort by… option. To reach these options go to TextExpander's View menu, or go to the Tools menu tool menu button located in the lower left corner of the TextExpander window.

  • Sort by content
  • Sort by abbreviation
  • Sort by date created
  • Sort by date modified
  • Sort by most recently used
  • Sort by most used
  • Sort by label


Filtering

You can also find snippets easily using the Filter box in the toolbar, which allows you to search for snippets in the TextExpander window. Just type in a few letters contained in the snippet, abbreviation, or label you are looking for. Only groups and snippets containing those letters are shown. If you type more than one word, the search looks for snippets where the content or label contains all of the words in any order. To search for words in an exact order, surround the search in quotation marks.

To see all groups and snippets again you must clear the filter.
