# Sorting, Filtering & Grouping Development Items

The **Development / Requirements / Workstreams / Workspace List** allows you to **sort**, **filter,** and **group** development items. You can then save your personal [custom view](https://success.panaya.com/docs/how-to-add-fields-to-the-requirements-list) to be used across projects and shared with team members.

To view all development activity items, select the **Development / Requirements / Workstreams / Workspace** **tab** in your project.

---

## Grouping

To group columns, **drag a column header** and drop it in the area above the table. Panaya will display the **count number** for each group of development items.

**Tips!**
