List and Pagination Controls

Payload's list controls support paginated data, page-size selection, sorting, and row selection. Use the standalone controls for custom data views and the provider-backed controls when extending an existing Admin list.

Import

Pagination

Pagination is controlled. Pass the current page metadata and update your query or local state from onChange.

The component returns null when both hasPrevPage and hasNextPage are false.

Page size

PerPage displays a compact selector for the number of rows shown on each page.

Reset the current page when changing the limit if the new page size would make that page invalid.

Sorting

• SortColumn renders ascending and descending controls for a named column.
• SortHeader switches an orderable list to its configured order field.
• SortRow renders the drag handle used by an actively orderable list.

These controls read and update Payload's ListQuery context. Use them inside an Admin list or a custom view that provides the same list-query state.

Selection

• SelectAll toggles selection for the current list.
• SelectRow toggles one row and respects document locking.
• SelectMany renders an action pill for the current selection.

Selection controls require Payload's selection context. SelectRow also reads the authenticated user to determine whether a locked row can be selected.

Common props

These are the props most commonly used. See the exported types in @payloadcms/ui for the complete list.

Internal list wrappers

PageControls and PageControlsComponent are exported for Payload's own list views but are marked internal. For Custom Components, compose Pagination and PerPage unless you are intentionally extending Payload's existing list-query implementation.
