# Named tables (2026-11-12)

**Give a table a name and work inside its bounds.** Select the header and data, click **Tables**, then choose **Create Table from Selection**. Click inside a named table to use **Sort**, **Filter** or **Export** for that table. Neighboring data stays visible while you filter.

**Sort and filter beside the grid.** Pick the column by its heading and click **Ascending** or **Descending**. Filter updates the grid and match count as you type.

**Export the table or its matches.** Click **Export** for a CSV named after the table. When a filter is active, you can export just the header and matching rows. [Named tables guide](https://scratch.itsryan.me/docs/grid.md#named-tables).
