Sorting Data

Information within a list window such as a Search List can often be sorted by contents of different columns. This information can be sorted in ascending or descending order by clicking on the column heading. For an example, complete the following steps:

1. Go to Sales > Customers to open the Customer list window.
   
2. Click on the ID column heading and notice that the entire list is sorted by the ID. The arrow on the column heading indicates if the information is sorted in ascending ( V ) or descending ( ^ ) order.
3. Click on ID again, and the list will reverse the sort:
   
   Data sorting can be done on selected columns. A column cannot be sorted if neither sort arrow appears when the user clicks on the column label.
