Sorting Data in Tables

Each table configuration displays data sorted according to the criteria entered in the configuration’s settings. You can change how data is sorted on an ad hoc basis, including selecting the primary sorting criterion, adding a secondary sorting criterion, removing one sorting criterion, and removing all sorting criteria.

Changes made on an ad hoc basis are not saved to the table configuration beyond your APM session unless you save them specifically. To save your changes, see Saving Ad Hoc Changes in the Current Configuration or Saving Ad Hoc Changes as a New Table Configuration.

To Sort Data on an Ad Hoc Basis

1.	Display the table configuration you want to change.

2.	Right-click the column and select an option:

•	To select the primary sorting criterion, click Sort, and then either Ascending (a-z) or Sort Descending (z-a). Existing sorting criteria are removed and the items are sorted by the column you select and in the direction you indicate.

•

When another column has a primary sort order, you can specify that the current column be subsorted in ascending or descending order. For example, if an asset table is sorted by asset type, you could specify that assets are sorted by number within each type. Click Subsort and then either Ascending (a-z) or Descending (z-a).

•	To remove a sorting criterion, click Remove Sort and then This Column. The sorting criterion for that column is removed and the list is refreshed.

•	To remove all sorting criteria in the table, click Remove Sort and then Clear All Sorting.

A triangle in a column’s heading indicates that it has a sorting or subsorting criterion applied to it:
