# Searching or sorting API groups and APIs

## Steps

* You can search for a specific application programming interface (API) *(tooltip: \<div class="paragraph">
  \<p>A specification of interactions available for building software to access an application or service.\</p>
  \</div>)* in an API group or across multiple API groups. For quick and easy retrieval, when you search at the API group level, you can filter your search based on **Group name**, **Attribute**, or **API**. When API is chosen for filtering, only non-empty API groups are loaded.

* You can sort API groups based on**Group name**, **Group creation date**, or **Last modified date**.

* You can also sort the APIs within an API group based on**Creation date** or **Training start date**.
