Changing the sort order in a column

Set the sorting order of the event data within a column to ascending or descending.

About this task

Each entry in the Sorted by list on the Sort Columns tab has a suffix that indicates the sort order of data within that field. By default, this entry is [desc], meaning that the field is sorted in descending alphabetical or alphanumerical order. The suffix [asc] indicates that the field is sorted in ascending alphabetical, or alphanumerical order.

To change the direction of sorting within a field:

1. Open the View Builder.
2. Select a view from the Available views list. The page updates with the view properties.
3. Click the Sort Columns tab.
4. Select a field in the Sorted by list within the Sort Columns area.
5. Set the sort direction by selecting Ascending or Descending from the Sort list.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for other columns that need a different sort order.
7. Click Save to save the view and continue customizing the view, or click Save and Close to save the view and close the View Builder.

   If you click Save, wait for your changes to be applied to the event list before you continue to customize the view.
