Specifying Sort Orders

For some view grids, you can specify the sort order for data rows.

Before you begin

Open the Edit Layout screen for the view to be updated.

About this task

The Sort Order pane shows the grid sort order. You can sort rows in ascending or descending order of values in specified columns. Data values in the grid are sorted by the first field, and then by each following field in the list. If you sort data records by more than one column, the sort order is determined by the columns from top to bottom in the pane. The fields that appear depend on which screen you are configuring.

Procedure

  1. In the Edit Fields For drop-down list, select the UI group to which the new sort order will apply.
  2. In the Sort Order pane, click and hold the left mouse button on the first field by which you want to sort the data, and drag the field to the top of the list.
  3. In the Sort column for the field, click Ascending or Descending in the list.
    If the Sort column value for a field is Not Sorted, the field is not used to determine the sort order.
  4. Click and hold the left mouse button on the next field by which you want to sort the data, and drag the field to the top of the list.
  5. In the Sort column for the field, click Ascending or Descending in the list.
  6. Optional: Add any additional fields to the sort order.
  7. Click Save.
