View Properties Notebook: Sort Fields Page

Use the Sort Fields page to specify one or more fields to use as the criteria for sorting resources in the current details view. You can also specify whether each field is sorted in ascending or descending order.

Any field above the Not sorted row is used to sort the resources, and any field below that row is not used.

To sort resources according to a specific field, click on the row containing the field you want to sort. Then move the row above the Not sorted row using the arrow keys. If you do not want to sort resources by a specific field, move it below the Not sorted row.

For each row, you may specify whether you want items sorted by the row in ascending or descending order. To change the order, click on the current selection (either Ascending or Descending). A drop-down list box displays. Click on the arrow and select either Ascending or Descending from the list.

Note: In the Status field, ascending order is the order of increasing status severity; for example, from Unknown to Fatal.

Note: Any changes you make on this page are temporary overrides, valid for this view only while the view remains open. If you close the view and re-open it, it will appear as specified by the Display Fields page of the Console Properties notebook.
