* **Sort by Field**: Select a column to sort by.
* **Sort Order**: ascending / descending.
* **Categories**: Show only items in the selected categories.

Pagination
-------------

| To activate automatic pagination see :ref:`configuration-tcaoverride` first.
| With *['enablePagination' => true]* there is an additional field 'Items per Page' in the dataflow tab at the bottom.
| It represents the amount of items of each paginated page.
