Sort the Lists

You can sort lists by row or column to view the items in the order you want. Once the list is sorted, you can reset the sort to the default sort order. You can sort parent items in lists. When the list is sorted, the child items inherit the sorting criteria of the parent.

To sort a column, click the 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.

Use the Multisort option to change the sort order of columns or sort by multiple columns to change your page layout.

Follow these steps:

1. Open a list page.
2. Click the Options icon to open the menu and select Multisort.
3. Complete the following fields, and save:

   First Field

   Specifies the column that leads the sort order.

   Type: Text

   Displays information in alphabetical order.

   Type: Numbers

   Displays information in numerical order.

   Second Field

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

   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. Indicate the direction of the sort for each selection you make in a Column field: ascending or descending.
