# User search and sort options
Some of the controls available to hosts can be applied to individual users in a Session. To affect an individual user, you must first find their username listed on the Users page. You can use the following features to search for a specific user by their name, or to sort users based on a specific characteristic.
## Searching for a user
1. Open your menu or tablet, and then select **Host Controls** .
2. On the **Users** page, in the **Search for users field**, enter all or part of a user's name.
3. Select search .
## Sorting the user list
1. Open your menu or tablet, and then select **Host Controls** .
2. On the **Users** page, from the sort list in the upper-right corner of the page, select a sort option.
3. **Optional**: Select the order icon to toggle between ascending and descending order.
Sort list
The available sort methods are described in the following table:
| Sort method | Description |
| ------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Join Order | List users in the order that they joined the Session. |
| Alphabetical | List users in A-Z (ascending) or Z-A (descending) order, based on their display names. |
| Avatar type | List users in two groups - those assigned a full-body avatar and those assigned a basic avatar. For more information, see [Assigning full-body avatars](/engage/host-controls/assigning-full-body-avatars.md). |
| Device type | List users grouped by the device that they're using. |
| Hosts | List users in two groups - hosts and non-hosts. |
