Sorting data by column in specific views
When a view is first populated, the content is typically displayed with the data in the first column in ascending order. In CICS® TS Version 4.2 and later, for a small number of older-style views, you can sort the data by column in the same way as in CICS Explorer® Version 5.2.
Before you begin
You must have a CMCI connection to a CICS TS Version 4.2 or later system. If you are connected to an earlier version of CICS TS and you attempt to sort a column, there is no effect.
About this task
This procedure applies to the Resource Group Definitions view, Group List Definitions view, and a small number of older-style views, as listed in Changing specific resource views. To sort the data by column in these views, use any of the following steps.
For the procedure that applies to most CICS resource table views, see Sorting resources in a view.
Procedure
Results
If you refresh the view, the current sort order is retained. If you close the view, the sort order is remembered and displayed again the next time you open the view. If you remove a column that you are sorting by from the view, the original sort order for the view is used.
