Caido

Sorting by Properties ​

Throughout Caido - the ability to sort items based on certain properties is integrated. These properties are grouped by category and their availability is dependent on the Caido feature being utilized.

These categories are represented as column names spanning horizontally located along the top row on any table element within Caido.

Clicking a column name will toggle the associated sorting mechanism. Sorting varies in how it is accomplished - ascending/descending order, alphabetical order, numerical order, time-based order and the presence/absence of a property are all factors utilized to provide Caido users with the functionality to easily navigate through data.

FAQ

Q: "Why can't some columns be sorted?"

  • Sorting is not always easy due to the client/server architecture of Caido and our reliance on disk. It requires more work from our side to support all sorting. Please check Caido's Github Issues page to submit a request to expand the available sorting options/vote for an existing sorting request.

Q: "When sorting the payloads in Automate, why are they sometimes out of order?"

HTTP History.
