Configure the sort order of alarm records

You can sort the alarm records in the list. By default, the Alarm Viewer control lists alarm records by time in ascending order.

You can sort alarm records in ascending or descending order based on a primary column and an optional secondary sort column.

Configure the sort order of alarm records

1. Right-click the Alarm Viewer control, and then select Properties. The AlarmViewerCtrl Properties dialog box appears.

2. Select the Query tab.

   

3. Select sorting options by completing the following:

   1. Select the primary sort column from the Sort Column list. Only visible columns appear in the Sort Column list. If you do not see the column you want, go to the General tab and select the column from Column Details.

   2. Select the secondary sort column from the Secondary Sort Column list.

   3. If you selected Time as the primary sort column, the Auto Scroll to New Alarms check box becomes available. Select this option if you want to automatically scroll and show new alarms as they occur.
