Sort a List by Multiple Columns

Change the order of information on a page by:

• Changing the sort order of columns
• Sorting by multiple columns

Use the Multisort option to change your page layout.

Follow these steps:

1. Open a list page.
2. Open the Options menu by clicking the icon on the Options toolbar, and select Multisort.

   The sort by multiple columns page appears.

3. Complete the following fields, and save:

   First Field

   Specifies the column that leads the sort order.

   Type:

   • Text. Information displays in the alphabetical order.
   • Numbers. Information displays in the numerical order.

   Second Field

   Specifies the column that defines the second order of the sort.

   Example: Select “User Name” in the first field and “ID” in the second. The list is sorted by user name and then by ID name or number.

   Third Field

   Specifies the column that defines the third order of the sort.

   Fourth Field

   Specifies the column that defines the fourth order of the sort.

4. For each selection you make in a Column field, indicate the direction of the sort for that column (ascending or descending).
