No, HubSpot contact views don’t support native multi-level sorting with custom fields. The platform restricts you to sorting by a single column at a time, which creates major limitations for teams needing hierarchical data organization.

But there’s a straightforward way to get the multi-level sorting you need while keeping your data connected to HubSpot in HubSpot .

Set up two-level sorting and beyond using Coefficient

Coefficient imports your HubSpot contacts directly into spreadsheets where you can apply unlimited sort levels. Your data stays live and updates automatically, so you’re not working with static exports that get outdated.

How to make it work

Step 1. Import contacts with all necessary fields.

From the Coefficient sidebar, connect to HubSpot and select “Import from… > Contacts.” Include your custom fields alongside standard properties like First Name and Last Name. Coefficient supports importing any HubSpot custom property.

Step 2. Apply initial filters before sorting.

Use Coefficient’s advanced filtering to narrow your dataset before sorting. You can apply up to 25 filters across 5 groups with AND/OR logic to focus on specific contact segments.

Step 3. Implement multi-level spreadsheet sorting.

Once imported, apply your sort hierarchy: Primary sort by custom company property, secondary by Last Name, tertiary by First Name, and add as many additional levels as needed. Your spreadsheet handles the complex sorting HubSpot can’t.

Step 4. Automate updates to maintain sort preferences.

Schedule imports to refresh automatically while maintaining your sort preferences. New HubSpot data pulls in and appears in the correct sorted position without manual intervention.
