Hello guys, I am trying to get values from an on create list e.g. I have a list of this numbers 234,45,856,879, and 255 added to a list as the time fires and I would like to get 45 or values less than 255 when the values are added to the list and list those wanted values on a different list? Any clue. @CBVG Thanks List of values adding items on a list as the timer fires and I want to be sorting out the values and list them on a different list view when all values are added to the list? ![2019-07-31%20(3)](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/3/d/3d2ae0b6214c7a6608639128229fca74d3ef4020.png) ---

### Raw Data Not sure where your raw data comes from, but for the sake of this example I created 30 pieces of random data with this loop: ![07](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/6/4/64e16939e8852fde4732369288d0bcdd56fd164a.png) ### Filtered Data This is where the second list comes into use. We loop through all of the `rawData` and if it’s lower than 50 it gets appended to the `filteredData` list like so: ![27](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/1/4/143f1cee31308654d14cb2b913389916bab991ca.png) ### Sorted Data There’s also a `sort` block that allows for ascending or descending sorting, so a third list is created to store the `sortedData` and use like so: ![51](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/3/6/363caa077d48b62102b3e678ce34a1d9846dbfdc.png) ---

Thanks for the quick response and the logic on how to go about it, it worked. ---

Another question, how can I separate indexes from the list e.g as you created a list of rawdata 30 times. If you just want the list values in index 1,2,3,4 and 5 then display them and filter them out in Thunkable Classic? Thanks. ---

These blocks will get the first 5 values from the list of `rawData` and store them in the `filteredData` list. ![28](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/e/6/e6d776834009b39afd2383b37b040df13e67163b.png) The logic is the same for either platform. As a side note, please post any questions about Thunkable Classic in #classicdiscuss Thanks. ---

I apologize for the wrong tag, thanks so much for the help it worked. I have another question, 1-How can i sort out the highest value from the listed raw data, when the list is created? 2-How can i test for each number in a listed rawdata e.g if the values are being added and the values added are constant it does not sort out the values, if they is any change i want the program to list the values that are changing in a list? Second Question Reference Example List-255,255,255,255,255,56,59 As given a list of values above, the program will check were the values have stopped being constant it can be any value in the list and those values were a change happened will be sorted out, example to the reference list above 56 and 59 will be sorted out and also the constant values…? Thanks! ---

Check out all the Maths and list components everything you asked for is possible and is easy to do ! some blocks do more than they show, so try all the functions that each math blocks and list blocks do! ---

Thank you, I will test all the Maths and List blocks and see what I can come up with. ---
