Although that does work, I was really hoping for a solution that would allow me to keep the sections as I find that more visually appealing. Thank you for your suggestion, though!
I am not sure but will try to explain.

Lets imagine that the template returns a list if entity_ids.
One record = one entity.
These records may be sorted by state, name etc. -
The template returns a list of records:
entity: xxxxxxx
name: xxxxxx
.....
Again , each record = entity, they may be sorted.
I do not know how the card knows that THIS IS A LIST OF ENTITIESā¦
- The template returns a list of records:
type: custom:declutterin-card
template: some_template
variables:
- AAAAAAAA: ....
- BBBBBBB: ....
...
Each record cannot be explicitly associated with some entity; in fact, it may represent several entities.
In this case we have to sort in the template itself.

At least I understood. Thanks. This makes sense. Thought before, That with template, the sorting is per Definition ignored. But if it still tries to sort sortable template output, thats great.
Any way to show secondary info with templates (Iād like to see last-changed under each entity without using another card). FYI - I use the template since I have entities in groups in groups:
- type: custom:auto-entities
card:
type: entities
show_header_toggle: false
state_color: true
filter:
template: >-
{{ expand(states.group.lights_all) | selectattr('state', 'in',
('on', 'open', 'unlocked', 'not_home')) | map(attribute='entity_id')
| list }}
sort:
method: friendly_name
Scroll up a little, there was a link to example. Also, you may use a magical āsearch in threadā feature.
Hey all, im still pretty knew, im not a coder and i can figure out most things by looking at examples, but im having trouble trying to excluding automations from my list. Can someone help me out here pls? i know its easy
type: custom:auto-entities
card:
type: entities
title: Doors Currently Open
state_color: true
show_header_toggle: false
filter:
include:
- entity_id: '*door*'
state: 'on'
exclude:
- domain: automation
sort:
method: none
show_empty: false

I have another one
im trying to have auto entities create graphs for my device batteries. im not a coder, what does this error mean
Cannot read properties of undefined (reading ālengthā)
type: custom:auto-entities
card:
type: entities
title: Devices Battery Level's
state_color: false
show_header_toggle: false
filter:
include:
- entity_id: '*battery_level*'
options:
type: custom:mini-graph-card
hours_to_show: 96
points_per_hour: 0.4
animate: true
align_icon: left
align_header: left
upper_bound: 100
lower_bound: 0
exclude: []

method: friendly_name
reverse: false

Wrong.
options - for each entity.
Since you need graphs - why have you specified ātype: entitiesā?
The right code is (example):
type: custom:auto-entities
card:
type: custom:mini-graph-card
name: Devices Battery Level's
hours_to_show: 24
points_per_hour: 60
align_icon: left
align_header: left
lower_bound: 0
line_width: 1
show:
fill: false
labels: true
filter:
include:
- entity_id: sensor.battery_*
I have card like this:
type: custom:auto-entities
card:
type: entities
show_header_toggle: false
state_color: true
title: Presence OFF
filter:
include:
- name: presence_*
options:
secondary_info: last-updated
state: 'off'
exclude: []
sort:
method: last_updated
numeric: true
reverse: true
This shows me ādeadā or missing devices on my network. But some of my devices are long-term off and I am fine with it, but donāt want to remove them. Usually the way to detect this is that their last update is the same as date of last HA start.
I have added input_datetime helper that gets stored current datetime 2 minutes after start of HA.
I would like to add additional filtration to this card where if itās attribute last-updated < my stored value it is not shown.
I am struggling to get it working and I am not sure if that is even possible.
It should be somehow like this ā¦
{{ as_timestamp(states('input_datetime.last_boot_timestamp')) | int > last-updated }}
{{ as_timestamp(states('input_datetime.last_boot_timestamp')) | int }}
ā¦ but it did not work for me.
I would appreciate suggestions. Thanks.
you can template card options with custom:config-template-card which embeds your full config you posted here and allows to input a template as you like it to be
Thank you for your answer. I had a look at config-template-card but I fail to see how to do that. The documentation seems a bit sparse. It seems like the entities that are watched must be explicitly stated, but my list needs to come from auto-entities.
I really need just to add another filter to auto-entities.
If you could give some example it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
well, that scenario (auto-entities filling a config-template-card) has just been added as a FR by me in the repoā¦
other than that, I thought you wanted to template some of the cards options (not the entities), and that is quite possible.

would you know of a way to have an auto-entities filled grid card with custom:button-cards with a template filter?
I have made the confg with auto-entities and a fixed filter set, (where the button-card is used in the options: field) but can not make it happen using a filter: template (because that wont accept optionsā¦)
I do hope I make a user error. but believe I tried it allā¦
- type: custom:auto-entities
card:
type: grid
title: Test Icon color Buttons
columns: 4
card_param: cards
filter:
include:
- entity_id: sensor.*_actueel
options:
type: custom:button-card
aspect_ratio: 1/1
show_state: true
template: support_custom_ui
exclude:
- state: '<20'
sort:
method: state
numeric: true
and this wrks too:
- type: custom:auto-entities
card:
type: entities
card_mod: &mod
style: |
ha-card {
box-shadow: none;
margin: -16px -16px 0px -16px;
}
filter:
template: >
{% set threshold = states('input_number.power_threshold')|float(0) %}
{% set ns = namespace(above_threshold=[]) %}
{% for s in states.sensor
|selectattr('entity_id','search','_actueel')
if s.state|float(0) > threshold %}
{% set ns.above_threshold = ns.above_threshold + [s.entity_id] %}
{% endfor %}
{{ns.above_threshold}}
sort:
method: state
numeric: true
works fine, but replacing the
filter:
include:
- entity_id: sensor.*_actueel
with the template from the second example doesnt work, because we can no longer set options in that caseā¦
hope you see what I am missing
why, because i literally have no idea what im doing lol i dont know code, its trial an error for atm
I was hoping that each battery would have its own graph card not all battery devices on the one graph.
type: custom:auto-entities
card:
type: vertical-stack
card_param: cards
filter:
include:
- entity_id: sensor.battery_*
options:
type: custom:mini-graph-card
entities:
- this.entity_id
Thanks for helping 
This is what i have and now this error??
The āentityā option was removed, please use āentitiesā
