heya @russel 👋 providing some more details about your use-case and/or screenshots would help find the right solution for you. in any case, from what you ask, yes, it is possible to sort a nested list using Webflow’s native options in the settings panel or using the Finsweet Attribute: [List Sort - Sort Content in a CMS Collection List in Webflow](https://finsweet.com/attributes/list-sort) ---

Hey @russel! Are you trying to sort the nested items? Or filter the collection list items by their nested categories? To filter the collection list items by their nested categories you need to add the `fs-list-field="IDENTIFIER"` to them, simply add the attribute in the template page nested items and it should work great. If this doesn’t work or you need some more help, could you please share a new Webflow read-only link? The link that you provided is not working for me. Let me know how it goes! ---

Hey @russel What do you mean by “I need to be able to sort the nested items”? How exactly do you want them to be sorted, and what’s your expected result? You are sending me the wrong link. Please share a Webflow Sandbox read-only (You can create it from the Share button at the upper right corner of your Webflow designer) ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/finsweet1/original/2X/6/65b30f3a5de8b43b960427bcecfb960ff33d5224.png) I also noticed that the nested elements still don’t have the `fs-list-field="IDENTIFIER"` attribute applied. Once you share the correct link, I’ll be able to confirm exactly where to add it and help you make it work as expected. 😉 ---

Hey @russel! Could you please try adding the `fs-list-field="suitability"` attribute to the text block inside the Collection Item on your Catalogues Template Page? Like this: ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/finsweet1/original/2X/8/841d2dc2823b84435ad1875b56905cc9681fe722.jpeg) These are the items being nested into your main page. Adding the `fs-list-field="suitability"` attribute will enable List Filter to properly match the items with your checkbox filters, allowing the filtering to work correctly. Let me know how it goes!
