sort by

Organize by criterion

Sort by is a command or interface option that arranges items according to a specified criterion.

You might sort by date, price, name, or relevance.

The phrase appears constantly in digital interfaces—spreadsheets, search results, online shopping, file managers—where users choose how to organize displayed information: Sort by newest first.
