To specify sort order
1 Click the header of the column you want to use, and click again to
alternate between ascending/descending.
Ascending order sorts the column starting with the smallest value and
ending with the largest value (for example: a-z, 0-9, Monday-Friday).
Descending order sorts the column starting with the largest value and
ending with the smallest value.
NOTE If sorting is selected on the Status column, activities will be sorted
from early through to late start for ascending, and vice-versa for descending.
The task hierarchy is preserved during the sorting process, that is tasks are
sorted first by container, then by container contents.
NOTE You can only sort by one column at a time. Instead of using the shortcut
menu to change the sort order, you can click the heading of the desired column.
This alternates the sort order between ascending and descending.
To add a user column
1 In the TimeLiner window, the Tasks tab, click the Column Set
drop-down ➤ Choose Columns button.
2 In the Choose TimeLiner Columns dialog box, select the check box
next to one of the ten available user columns, for example User 1, and
click OK.
The custom user column has been added to TimeLiner. By default, it's
got the same name as the option you selected in the dialog box.
3 Right-click the added column, click Rename User Column, and type
in a new name, for example 'Cost'.
NOTE To populate this column with data, you must map the user field (in this
case, User 1) to the corresponding data field in each of the data sources. For more
information, see Field Selector Dialog Box (page 616).
To delete a user column
1 In the TimeLiner window, the Tasks tab, click the Column Set
drop-down ➤ Choose Columns button.
2 In the Choose TimeLiner Columns dialog box, clear the check box
next to the user column you want to remove, and click OK.
