You use a sort order to define the order in which records are displayed. The data in the database remains the same; only the way data is being displayed changes. CATraxx lets you sort on up to five fields.
There are two ways to change the sort order:
| • | Select a sort order from the Sort Orders drop-down list above the browse list. |
| • | Click the heading of the column you want to sort on to create a temporary sort order. |
A field can be sorted in either ascending order (letters are sorted from A to Z and numbers from 0 to 9) or descending order (letters are sorted from Z to A and numbers from 9 to 0).
The Sort Orders drop-down list above the grid indicates which sort order that is currently active.

If you cannot see the Sort Orders drop-down list, choose Lists -> Layouts/Sort Orders/Filters from the View menu.
Simply select a sort order from this drop-down list to change the active sort order. Right-click the drop-down list to display a popup menu with more options:
