Sorting by User-Defined Order

You can sort the records in the columns in primary, secondary, and tertiary order. For example, if two rows have the same values for the primary sort criteria, they will be sorted based on their values for the secondary sort criteria. Records are sorted alphabetically, numerically, or by time (the latest time is the largest value).

To sort by a user-defined column sort order, follow these steps:

  1. Select the primary column item that you want sort. Click the down arrow to view the column selections. Image s001023.gif
  2. Select the column sort order: ascending or descending.
  3. Select the secondary and tertiary column items, then select the sort order. Click the down arrow to see the selections.
  4. Click Submit Query.

    Note: If you leave a column sort level blank, sorting stops at the last level you specify.

    Contradicting sorts are ignored. Sort performs the primary sort level, while the secondary contradicting sort level is suppressed.
