Add a Sorting Field

CA APM lets you add sorting fields to the search results and extend the default sort of a single column using either ascending or descending order. For example, you currently sort assets by asset name. You can add asset family to the sorting so that you can sort on both asset name and asset family.

To add a field to sort the search results

1. Click the tab and optional subtab for the object that you want to find.
2. On the left, click Manage Searches.

   A list of saved searches displays.

3. Click a search in the list.
4. In the Additional Settings, Search Result Sorting area, add the additional field for sorting.
5. Click Go.

   The results appear with the extended sorting and help you see the impact on the results before you save the sorting. The new field is added and you can use the field to sort the search results.
