Sorting Pages

The arrow next to a column heading name indicates which column the page is currently sorted on. If the arrow points up, the sort is in ascending order, a to z or 1 to n. If the arrow points down, the sort is descending, z to a or n to 1. The page can be sorted by up to 3 columns.

  1. Click in the page toolbar.



    You can sort the page using up to 3 columns. For example, you could sort a page by Country, then by State, then by City. If you created a custom layout for this page, this dialog box shows the columns you selected for sorting the table.

    You can only select from the provided lists; not all columns on the page can be used for sorting.

  2. From the 1st drop-down list, select the primary column for sorting.

    To clear a column name, select None from the list.

  3. Select the button in the ascending () or descending () column for the column selected in Step 2.

  4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for the 2nd and 3rd columns for sorting.

  5. Click Done.

    If, after sorting the page, you click on a column title selected for the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd sort, the sort direction for that column changes (from ascending to descending, or from descending to ascending). If you click on a column title not used for sorting the page, the page is resorted based on that column only (not any other columns selected previously for sorting).
