Sorting Records
You can sort records in ascending or descending order based on cable
identification, date and time, site, operator, test summary result, length, or
headroom items. LinkWare displays and prints records in the order you specify.
Sorting records at any level in the database structure applies the same sorting
order to all levels of the database structure.
Column heading in the
records list
To sort records by one item
Click on a column heading in the records list. Clicking
on the same heading again sorts the records in the
opposite order.
You can also use Quick Sort to sort by one item in
ascending order.
To use Quick Sort
Select Reports > Quick Sort.
The Advanced Sort function on the Reports menu lets you sort records by
multiple items. For example, you could sort the records in ascending
alphabetical order by site name; then you could sort the records for each site
in descending order by cable identification.
Sorting with all fields set to None sorts the records in the order they were
saved in the tester.
Advanced Sort uses the Site names used in the site icon labels in the database
structure. Operator names are taken from the records' administration
information.
To use Advanced Sort
Select Reports > Advanced Sort.
