To create a temporary sort order |
|
| 1. | Click on the heading of the column you want to sort on. Letters are by default sorted from A to Z and numbers from 0 to 9. Hold down Shift while you click to create a descending sort order (letters are sorted from Z to A and numbers from 9 to 0). Hold down Ctrl while you click to sort on multiple columns. For example, to sort on both the first and second column: Click on the heading of the first column, then click on the heading of the second column while you hold down the Ctrl key. |
You can sort on up to five fields.
A sort indicator is used to display the sort order status of a column. If the arrow points upwards the column is sorted in ascending order. If the arrow points downwards the column is sorted in descending order. The sort indicators are color coded to indicate the position of the column in the sort order:
1. field - red
2. field - yellow
3. field - green
4. field - blue
5. field - aqua
A temporary sort order is deleted when you select one of the saved sort orders. You can save a temporary sort order and add it to the list of available sort orders.
