Show data rows in the order you prefer, including sorts across multiple
rows.
The sort order is unique to each operator, as you expect; and it is 'sticky' — even
after you go away to view another page, the sort order for this page is the same
when you come back to it again. A sort controls the full data set, not just the
current page of data.
Here are the different ways to control sorting.
To control the sorted order:
-
To sort a displayed list, click anywhere in the column header for the column
you want to sort by.
The sorted column show a small indicator arrow in the right end of its
header. An up arrow means the column is now sorted in ascending order (so that a
text column starts with
a and ascends up to
z).
Tip: After changing the sort
order, you may see completely different items in your list. This is because
the sort is applied to all the data in the database, and not just to the
currently displayed page. You may also be partway through a sorted list if
you were not looking at the first page of data when you changed the sort —
re-sorting does not return you to the first page. If you were previously
looking at page 3 of 10, and you change the sort, you are still looking at
page 3 of 10, but this is now a 'window' onto the list that is in a
completely different order.
-
To reverse the sorted order of a list, click a second time on the column header
of the sorted column.
Each time you click the header of the same column, the sort order reverses. A
down arrow means the column is now sorted in descending order (so that a text
column starts with z and goes back to
a).
-
To sort on multiple columns (example: to sort licenses by
Publisher, and then by Name
within each publisher):
-
Click on the column header of the most important column you want to
sort by (example: click Publisher until it is in
the ascending/descending order you want).
-
Hold down the Shift key, and click the column
header for the secondary sort column (example: shift-click
Name).
You can repeat this for as many columns as you need.
-
To reverse the order of any sorted column when there are multiple
columns sorted, hold down the Shift key and click
the sorted column header.
