On My videos and Workspace videos, the Sort by and Filter dropdowns at the top of the page reorder and narrow your list, and the icons in the top right switch between grid and list view.

​
Sort your videos

At the top of My videos or Workspace videos, open the Sort by dropdown to choose how the list is ordered:
  • Alphabetical: A → Z by video title
  • Date created: newest or oldest first
  • Last modified: most recently edited first
When the sort supports both directions, an Order section appears in the same dropdown. For Alphabetical you choose A-Z or Z-A; for Date created and Last modified you choose Newest first or Oldest first.
Tella remembers your sorting method and direction in this browser. The same preference applies to both My videos and Workspace videos, and remains after you reload or return later.

​
Filter your videos

Open the Filter menu to narrow the list. Under Show, choose:
  • All videos: show everything (default)
  • Not in a playlist: show only videos that aren’t part of any playlist. While it’s on, the Sort by dropdown is hidden and videos keep their default order. Useful for tidying up: anything that lands here is “loose” and may want a home.
On My videos, the same menu includes a Created by section:
  • Anyone: every video you can access (default)
  • Me: only videos where you’re the creator
  • Shared with me: only videos other workspace members have shared with you
Once you have tags, the Filter menu also includes a Tags section. See filter your library by tag. The Filter button shows how many filters are active. Click its × button (Clear filters) to reset all filters at once.

​
Switch between grid and list view

In the top right of the page, two icons let you switch the layout:
  • Grid view: large thumbnails in a responsive grid. Best for visual browsing.
  • List view: a compact, dense table-style layout. Best for long libraries when you want to scan many titles at once.
Inside a playlist, open the playlist’s ⋯ menu and choose View, then Grid or List. The same menu has Sort by, with extra Custom and Date added orders for playlists.

​
Always show playlists and tags on video cards

Next to the grid/list toggle, the ⋯ overflow menu lets you control what’s always visible on video cards:
  • Always show playlists and tags: on desktop, enabling this keeps playlist and tag badges visible on video cards. When disabled (the default), they appear when you hover over a card. On mobile, tag badges remain visible, while playlist badges are hidden because cards do not have a hover state.
You can also toggle this setting in Settings → Preferences → Library.

​
Act on a filtered list

When a list gets long, combine sorting and filtering with bulk select to act on many videos at once: copy links, add to a playlist, change access, or move to trash. After selecting at least one video, click Select all in the bottom toolbar to select every video that matches your current filters, including pages you haven’t loaded yet.
