The table display supports sorting by more columns.
First click on the header turns on the ascending sorting, another one descending and another one turns it off. You can do it for more columns.
The program uses sort columns from left to right.
That means the left most column is used first, then the one that follows and so on. If this order is not good for you, you have to move columns in the Custom layout (see below).
In this picture the data are first sorted by Jobname in ascending order. Then by Jobnet in descending order and finally by Owner in ascending order.
By default the table is not sorted - it contains data rows like they are received from the server.
But you can set the defaults:
- click the Customize icon on the ribbon bar
- then select the Sort order like you want and press OK
- you can also change the order of columns, so that the most important sorted column is the left-most column. Then left to right processing of sort columns gives you the required results.
As a result, the "Use Custom" becomes selected, which means the user-defined layout is applied:
The program remembers the custom layouts for all displays individually.
Next time you open the same display the layout is set to Custom if the last view of the same display used Custom.
