Introducing Advanced Sort: Bringing Structure to Large-Scale Analysis

Jan 12, 2026

When you’re analysing large volumes of news or social content, the order you consume information shapes the insights you uncover. A dataset can tell very different stories depending on how it’s structured, filtered, and prioritised.

Previously, content in Locus Elite could be organized using a single criterion at a time—such as date, relevance, or engagement. This approach works well for quick overviews, but more in-depth exploration of larger or more complex datasets benefits from additional flexibility.

Advanced Sort changes that.

Bring Structure to Large-Scale Analysis
With Advanced Sort, you can now sort content using multiple parameters at once, giving you full control over how information is organised—much like working in Excel, but applied directly to live news and social data.

For example, you can:

  • First group content by country
  • Then sort within each country by metrics such as follower count or engagement

This layered approach allows you to move beyond surface-level browsing and analyse content in a structured, repeatable way.

Why Advanced Sort Matters ?
Advanced Sort is designed for teams that need to work systematically at scale, especially when monitoring global narratives, regional media coverage, or distributed social conversations.

It makes it easier to:

  • Review content country by country without losing context
  • Quickly identify the most influential voices within each group
  • Navigate large datasets in a clear, logical order
  • Reduce noise while preserving important signals
  • Instead of jumping between filters or manually piecing insights together,
  • Advanced Sort lets the structure do the work for you.

Built for Real-World Research Workflows
Whether you’re conducting media analysis, reputation monitoring, policy research, or campaign evaluation, Advanced Sort supports the way analysts and communications teams actually work. It helps ensure that:

  • Important voices aren’t buried under volume
  • Regional patterns are easier to spot
  • High-impact content is prioritised within the right context

Analyse Smarter, Not Harder
Advanced Sort brings clarity to complexity. By allowing multi-level sorting across key attributes, it transforms large, unwieldy datasets into something navigable, prioritised, and insight-ready.

When scale increases, structure becomes essential.
With Advanced Sort, Locus Elite gives you that structure—so you can focus on analysis, not organisation.
