Searching and Filtering Transactions

Use the Search field to find transactions by description, vendor name, or category name. Results update as you type.

Filter Options

You can combine multiple filters at the same time. Each filter appears as a dropdown:

AmountAll amounts, Over $1,000, Over $5,000, Under $250

Active Filter Tags

When you apply filters, they appear as tags/chips above the transaction table. This gives you a visual reminder of what's currently active.

Resetting Filters

Click Reset Filters to clear all active filters and return to the default view showing all transactions.

Click any column header in the table to sort by that column:

  • Date — Sort oldest-to-newest or newest-to-oldest.
  • Vendor — Sort alphabetically.
  • Category — Sort alphabetically.
  • Type — Sort by income or expense.
  • Amount — Sort by dollar amount.

Click the same column header again to reverse the sort order.
