3.2.1.12 Event Sorting Reference
● If there are no arrows in any of the column headers, it means the default Event
List sorting is applied.
● In some Client Profiles:
– A small up or down arrow in one of the column headers in Event List
indicates that a non-default sorting order was applied.
– In the case of recurring events, the sorting only applies to the parent event.
Any individual recurrences of an event are always sorted by date and time
in ascending order, under the parent, and you cannot change this order.
For more information see Recurring Events Reference [➙ 114].
● The default event sorting applied to the different Client Profiles is listed in the
table below. Profiles that allow the default event sorting to be changed are
marked with an asterisk (*).For instructions, see Changing the Sorting of
Events [➙ 83].
Profiles
By default, events in Event List are sorted by applying the
following criteria in turn:
Building Automation EN*
Building Automation NA*
Danger Management EN

1. Event status: unprocessed (to be Ack) events grouped
on top, then unreset events, then events that are
waiting for condition
2. Category: most severe on top, for example, Life Safety
before Fault
3. Date/time: most recent event on top
With this sorting, all events to be acknowledged will be
grouped at the top. Within the ‘to be acknowledged’ group,
events will be grouped by category. Finally, within a group of
‘to be acknowledged’ events belonging to the same category,
the most recent ones will display on top.

same category and IN before OUT, the oldest ones will display
