Filtering using Contains

Inactive User

So I am using the filter tool to remove unwanted records, specifically where there is "test" or "order" in the first or last name column. However, looking at the results it seems to me that it is returning records that contain parts of the string "order" or "test". 

 

Here is my filter:

Results (notice the last two records):

clipboard_image_1.png

 

Any ideas as to why this is happening or how I can fix this?

Hi @Inactive User 

 

Switch the order of your Contains Function

 

Contains ([Field], "order")
