Sorting
Sorting allows you to organize the records in the active window in
sequential order based on the field(s) you specify. Portfolios can
be saved in sorted order. Sorts performed on collection windows
are not saved unless you save the sorted collection as a portfolio.
The most recently applied sort criteria will, however, be applied
to the collection the next time it is opened.
The Sort dialog box allows you to sort the records in your
collection according to the content of their fields. Sorting is
iterative; the first pass arranges the records based on the field’s
contents; the second pass arranges records when two or more
records have the same value in the first sort field, and so on.
To perform a sort:
1. From any view, choose Sort from the Selection menu or click
the Sort button in the Toolbar. In the Text List View, click the Sort
icon in any column head.

2. Select a field in the Fields list and click Add.
The field appears in the Sort By list. To remove a field
from the Sort By list, select it and click Remove. Click
Remove All to clear the list.
