The list of datasets is dynamically altered by the criterea dictated by the filters
You may sort in the following ways:
Name | Explanation |
---|---|
Relevance | first: score / second: last modified |
Name Ascending | number followed by A-Z, based on title |
Name Descending | Z-A followed by number, based on title |
Rating Ascending | Datasets rated by best sorted on top |
Rating Descending | Non-rated datasets sorted to top |
Last modified | most recent modifications to metadata |
Popular | Highest rating and views on top |
Filtering Datasets
Filtering datasets can be accomplished in various ways, using single or multiple filters. Filter options are shown ont he left-hand side of the of the dataset overview page in CKAN.
It is possible to filter results based on:
- Organizations
- Groups
- Tags
- File format
Filtering Datasets by Multiple Items
Filtering can be accomplished by the use of more than one filter.

Remove Filters
Filters may be removed from a search, one-by-one, by clicking on the cross behind the selected filter.
You may remove filters either on the left-hand side of the page, in the filtering area, or at the top of the page.
