## Sort by

You can sort mentions whatever you want using sorting options.

The basic option is sorting by **Date (newest)**. Using this option you will always get the freshest mentions.

Also you can sort by:

#| 

|| **Date (oldest)** — your mention feed starts from the oldest ones within a selected period.| **Potential reach** — your mention feed starts from potentially the most coverage mentions: the total number of posts and comments in which the brand was mentioned and the total number of unique users who visit the source and can interact with posts. **Important:** the number is [approximate](*overlap) and could be more than today's total world population, because we count [non-unique visits](*bloggers) to all the sites in your project.||
|| **Engagement** — your mention feed starts from the mentions with the highest coverage.| **Views** — your mention feed starts from mentions that are seen by the highest number of users.||
|| **Visits** — your mention feed starts from mentions located on sources with the highest number of [visiters](*non-unique) per month.| **Likes** — your mention feed starts from the mentions with the largest number of likes.||
|| **Comments** — your mention feed starts from the mentions with the largest number of comments.| **Followers** — your mention feed starts from the mentions with the largest number of authors' followers.||
