Filter "Cloned Variants"
I have cloned lot of variants. Is there any way to filter cloned variants? or at least sort based on variant kind?

You can select based on variant number. So say you have a number of images with more than one variant. Select any one of the images that has more than one variant (it doesn't matter which of those images). Right click on the second variant of it, and from the context menu choose Select by same>variant position. That selects all the 2nd variants.

If you mean can you select cloned or new variants by a filter the answer is No. The 'cloned' variant is just a method of creating a variant by copying, one time, settings from a previously created variant. If it not a specific 'kind' of variant.
However, if you mean you wish to separate variants by some specific - say a monochrome version or maybe a variant set up for printing to a specific size with related crop and sharpening settings, then the available approach would be to use a metadata field to identify the type (maybe a Keyword for example) and then use that as a filter in a search or filter, perhaps better if it is something you use regularly, a Smart Album. (Depending upon how you have things set up in Capture One and with consideration for whether you are using catalogues or sessions. Or both. Either way the principles are the same but the best options for whether to use a Smart Album or search or filter or some combination may be different.

Wow .. Thanks a lot. It really helped and saved lot of time.
I only see Variant Position(1) in "Select By Same". So I selected all Variant Position(1) and Inverted the Selection, applied some Color Label. Now I can filter cloned variants using color labels.
Thank you Ian.0 -

Thank you Grant. These are really good tips. I used to filter images based on Virtual copies in Lightroom. Ian suggestion solved my issue in C1.0
