Sort Window in Numbers stays Open - annoying

I am sorting in Apple numbers for the first time. A window pops up providing options for sorting, categories, etc. It now covers up some of the columns. I can't find a way to close it, as it is annoying and blocking the work I want to do. I want to find a way to close this window, hide it, or something to get it out of the way. Thanks [ Using version 13.1 (7037.0.101)]

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 14.1

If you are keyboard-oriented, a simple option-command-i will also show or hide the sidebar.


You can find a list of keyboard shortcuts at Help > Keyboard Shortcuts in your menu.

P.S. for Ian: love the graphics! Question: can a Leader survive in the mid-levels of an organization, surrounded by Bosses? When you hide the sidebar, is there a special such creature in the third column?😀

Unfortunately, no. There is no such creature until Mr Big understands the upside-down pyramid:



Or, more graphically:
