Sorting tables

You can sort tables by clicking a column heading.

When you use this feature, the sorting behavior is as follows:

  • When the table is first displayed, it is sorted by the first column (using A to Z order)
  • When you click a column heading, the sort order toggles between three positions: A to Z order, Z to A order, and no sort order (order reflects the way that the model is stored).
  • If you select a sort order for the first column and then try to sort the next column in the table, it does not affect the sorting of the first column. Rather, it serves as a secondary key, sorting only items in the second column that have the same name in the first column. This logic is applied to all subsequent columns in the table as well.
  • If you select the "no sort" option for the first column, you can then fully sort the next column by clicking the column header. This logic is applied to all subsequent columns in the table as well.
Note: Table header cells have a drop-down menu that provides sorting and filtering options. The TableHeaderMenuAlignment property can be used to specify the location of the menu button.
