The following additional tabs of information are available in this page: |
Primary Sort By Column
Indicates the column of information the system should sort first, when ordering the data.
Primary Sort Direction
Determines whether the primary data field should be sorted in Ascending or Descending order.
When sorting an alphabetic field, sorting Ascending sorts A-Z, sorting Descending orders Z-A.
When sorting a numeric field, sorting Ascending sorts 1-9, sorting Descending sorts 9-1.
Note
If sorting an alphanumeric field, the numbers are sorted from left to right. Therefore numbers would be sorted as 1, 10, 100, 2, 20, 200. If sorting a numeric field, the numbers are sorted 1, 2, 10, 20, 100, 200.
Secondary Sort by Column
Indicates the column of information the system should sort secondarily (within the primary sort field), when ordering the data.
Secondary Sort Direction
Determines whether the secondary data field should be sorted in ascending or descending order.
