Specify the Sort Order

You can determine the way the results within each column should display (for example, alphabetically by last name, by largest dollar amount, and so on) by setting up different sort order criteria.

Although sort order is not required, results may not display in a predictable manner if you do not select at least the first criteria.

If you have copied this report to make a new one, you may change the existing sort order.

To specify a sort order for the data

2. Click Ascending or Descending to specify the numeric or alphabetic order to sort the column in (for example, from "0 up to n" or "n down to 0"; or from "A to Z" or "Z to A").

3. Optionally, select the desired option from the next Then, by drop-down list and specify Ascending or Descending.

4. Optionally, select the desired option from the last Then, by drop-down list and specify Ascending or Descending.
