Setting the Field Sort Order
- Once you have selected the fields to be displayed and have saved your list view, the Sort Order tab will appear.
- In this tab, you can set the default sort order for the records in the list view.
- NOTE: Read-only fields cannot be sorted against. As a result such fields are not included in the List View Builder on the Sort Order tab.
- Click on the "Add" button to add rows to the Sort Order definition.
- Choose a field that the list view should be sorted by, by default.
- Choose the "Direction" in which the sort should occur.
- "Ascending" will sort the selection from A to Z, from 0 to 9.
- "Descending" will sort the selection from Z to A, from 9 to 0.
- In the example above, the list view will be sorted by:
- first name (A to Z), then, within sets of matching first names,
- last name (A to Z), then, within sets of matching first and last names,
- email addresses (A to Z)
Note that this process defines the default sort order for the list view. The list view can be re-sorted using the "Sort By" feature within the list view.
