Sorting a related events view

Within a related events view, it is possible to sort the information that is displayed.

Before you begin

Within the View Related Events portlet, select the tab view where you want to apply the sorting.

About this task

Sorting by single column or multiple columns is possible within either the Configuration, Group or Event table. Sorting within the Group or Event table can be done independently or in parallel by using the sorting arrows that display in the table column headings. When you apply sorting within the Configuration table the configuration hierarchy disappears, but the configuration hierarchy reappears when you remove sorting. For more details about rollup information, see Adding columns to seasonal and related event reports.
