The table panel is very flexible, supporting multiple modes for time series and for tables, annotation, and raw JSON data. This panel also provides date formatting, value formatting, and coloring options.
> **Note:** If you are using a table visualization created before Grafana 7.0, then you need to migrate to the new table version in order to see these options. To migrate, on the Panel tab, click **Table** visualization. Grafana updates the table version and you can then access all table options.
- **Show header -** Show or hide column names imported from your data source.
- **Sort ascending/descending -** Click a column title to change the sort order from default to descending to ascending. Each time you click, the sort order changes to the next option in the cycle. You can only sort by one column at a time.
- [Table field options]({{< relref "table-field-options.md" >}}) allow you to change [field options]({{< relref "../../field-options/_index.md" >}}) such as column width, alignment, and cell display mode.
- [Filter table columns]({{< relref "filter-table-columns.md" >}}) - You can temporarily change how column data is displayed. For example, you can order values from highest to lowest or hide specific values.
## Annotation support
Annotations are not currently supported in the new table panel. This might be added back in a future release.
