Sort by column

When working with long lists of data, it is often helpful to sort by a particular attribute to aid in finding the desired item quickly. For example, take the Base Filter, shown below, which appears when a user elects to change the active Base.

There are two columns in this list. The Name column is marked with a triangle which points upward (). This indicates that this list of Bases is sorted "ascending" by the attribute represented by column. This means that this list of Bases is sorted alphabetically, from A to Z, by Name.

To reverse the sorting applied to the column, click the heading again.

The column header is now labeled with a downward pointing triangle (), and the base is now sorted reverse alphabetically, or from Z to A.

To sort by a different column, simply click the heading.

Likewise, to reverse the sort, click the heading again.
