Sort

Use the Sort operation to arrange the way a configuration file's data is presented on screen in a configuration document. You can arrange the presentation for the Users panel, Roles panel and Resources panel independently of each other. Information can be arranged sequentially in either Ascending or Descending order for any three parameters listed in the configuration file.

The Sort operation can only be performed on records listed in Configuration files. As such the Sort option only appears in the Edit menu within the context of Configuration files.
