To toggle between the Sort and Grid views, click the Sort View toolbar button. You can also

window.
Use Sort View to determine which segments, entities, and objects in the Neoview system network
are the most or least busy. To do so, select Sort View and the All Segments toolbar buttons. You
can display the most or least used segment-entity attributes by clicking attribute column headings.
