# [Set Up Your Project] - Switch Between Alphabetical and Label View

This page explains how to switch between Alphabetical View and Label View when viewing content types in Contentstack. It is intended for developers and content modelers who manage multiple content types and want to streamline navigation and organization in a stack.

## Switch Between Alphabetical and Label View

Contentstack makes organizing and sorting your [content types](/docs/developers/create-content-types/about-content-types) easy by allowing you to switch between Alphabetical View and Label View. This feature helps streamline navigation, especially when dealing with numerous content types.

**Note:** You can only switch to Label View if you have [applied](/docs/developers/create-content-types/create-and-apply-labels) labels to your content types.

To switch views, log in to your [Contentstack account](https://app.contentstack.com/#!/stacks) and perform the following steps:
- Go to your [stack](/docs/developers/set-up-stack/about-stack), and click the “Content Models” icon in the left navigation panel to view the list of content types.
- By default, content types are displayed in **Alphabetical View**, which sorts them alphabetically.
- To view content types by their labels, click on a label from the list. This displays all content types associated with the selected label.

**Note:** If a content type does not have an assigned label, it will appear only in the default **Alphabetical View** on the Content Type list page. In the **Views** section of the Entry list page, it will be categorized under **Unlabeled**.

Using these view options allows you to organize your workspace efficiently and streamline navigation when managing multiple content types.
