Set Up Sorts for Views

You can create sorts as part of a view, or as separate elements that you can apply to the current view. The sorts you create as part of a view are saved and applied with the view. If you create a sort file, you can add it to your library file and can apply it to any window.

Follow these steps:

1. Open the Project ribbon.
2. Click Manage Library in the View group.
3. Select the view from the Libraries dialog and click Edit.
4. Open the Sort tab.
5. Double-click the information folders to display the field names that are associated with the current view.
6. Drag the field names to the Field column to create or edit a sort.
7. Complete the following columns in the Sort grid section. The following fields require explanation:

   Start Column

   Enter the column number at which to start the sort.

   Sort Length

   Enter the number of sort characters.

   Sequence

   Select Ascending or Descending.

8. Click OK.
