2.1.2 Sort Data

Top  Previous  Next

To sort data against a column, click this column's header. The grid will sort values in ascending order. The order is indicated by the glyph displayed at the column header's right edge. Click the same column header to reverse the sort order. Note that the sort glyph is now reversed as well.

 

If you click another column header, all previously applied data sorting is cleared. To preserve the existing sort settings, and thus sort against multiple columns, hold the SHIFT key down while clicking.Sorting by a second column only makes sense when you have repeated values in the first column.

 

To disable data sorting against a specific column, hold the CTRL key and click this column's header. The same can be accomplished using the Clear Sorting item in the column header menu. To clear all data sorting conditions, use the Clear All Sorting item.

 

You can't move selected items up or down if the data is sorted against any column.
