Perform a Simple List Sort

Information is listed in alphabetical or numeric order according to the information in the field. You can sort lists by row or column. Once the list is sorted, you can reset the sort to the default sort order.

Sort Hierarchical List by Row

You can sort parent items in lists. When the list is sorted, the child items inherit the sorting criteria of the parent. For example, if you sort the list in ascending order, the parent and its child items sort in ascending order.

Sort List by Column

To sort a column, click the column header. For example, to sort the work breakdown structure by task name, click the Task Name column header. When the list is sorted, an arrow appears in the column header. To reverse the sort order, click the column header again. Do the same to sort by any other column headers.
