**HubSpot tables sort by one column at a time. The Multi-column sort for HubSpot template sorts by up to three columns, such as owner and then last activity date, in your own browser, with no admin setting needed.**

## Steps

1. In Skins Studio, open **Explore**, pick **Multi-column sort for HubSpot** and click **Create App**.
2. On a HubSpot table, such as Contacts, open the **Skins** side panel from the browser toolbar. The skin is listed under **On this page**.
3. Switch it on. A **Sort** bar appears at the end of the filter bar, above the table.
4. Click a column header to sort by it, then click **+ Then by** to add the next column.

## What you get

- A Sort bar on HubSpot's index tables, with up to three sort levels.
- Each sorted header shows its level number: 1, 2 or 3.
- The bar lists each level with its direction (A→Z, newest first) and a × to remove it.
- Dates sort newest first, text A→Z.
- Rows move to their new places with a short animation.
- For example: Contact owner, then Last activity date.

## Limits

- It sorts only the rows on the page you're looking at. HubSpot loads one page at a time (25 rows by default); raise the page size, up to 100, to sort more.
- It doesn't change HubSpot's saved view or the order of an export.
- Up to three levels.
- Only in your browser. Colleagues see the Sort bar only if they turn it on too.

## Other options

- **Single-column sort plus filters**: HubSpot's own sort, narrowed with filters. One column at a time.
- **Export to Excel or Google Sheets**: sort by as many columns as you like there. The sorted copy doesn't update with HubSpot.
- **Several saved views**: one view per sort order. Clunky to switch between.
- **Ask HubSpot**: vote on the idea.
