Sort alarms

You can configure how the AlarmApp sorts alarm records at run time. By default, the AlarmApp lists alarm records by time in ascending order.

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

You can configure the sorting columns and directions either in lists or with the grid preview.

To set sorting columns and directions with lists

1. Select the AlarmApp placed on a pane.

2. Select the Properties grid to show AlarmApp properties.

3. Select the ellipsis button shown at the right of the Configuration field.

4. Click the Column Details tab. The Column Details page appears.

5. In the Sorting area, do the following:

   1. Select the primary sort column in the First Sort Column list and a sorting direction in the list to its right.

   2. Optionally, select the secondary sort column in the Second Sort Column list and a sorting direction in the list to its right.

   3. If you set the Second Sort Column, optionally select the tertiary sort column in the Third Sort Column list and a sorting direction in the list to its right.

The grid preview is updated and shows arrows for the sorted columns and their sort directions.
