Users also can filter, sort, view, and group the list. Apart from this formatted columns, nested groups, and attention view can be displayed in the list web part.

As of today, below are the lists which you can add into a modern SharePoint page:

• Custom lists
• Announcement lists

Also, files can be shown in the details view to tiles view and column formatting and nested folders created in the source list.
