Sorting columns in the View Seasonal Events portlet

You can sort the columns in the View Seasonal Events portlet to organize the displayed data.

Before you begin

To access the View Seasonal Events portlet, users must be assigned the ncw_analytics_admin role.

About this task

The rows in the View Seasonal Events portlet are sorted by the configuration name. You can change the order of the rows by using the columns to sort the data.

Sorted columns are denoted by an upwards-pointing arrow or downwards-pointing arrow in the column header, depending on whether the column is sorted in ascending or descending order.

Procedure

To sort the rows by column, complete the following steps.

  1. Open the View Seasonal Events portlet.
  2. To sort single columns, complete the following steps.
    1. To sort a column, click the column header once. The rows are sorted in ascending order.
    2. To sort in descending order, click the column header again.
    3. To unsort the column, click the column header a third time.
  3. To sort multiple columns, complete the following steps.
    1. Sort the first column as a single column.
    2. Move the mouse pointer over the column header of the next column you want to sort. Two icons are displayed. One is a standard sorting icon and the other is a nested sorting icon. The nested sorting icon has a number that represents how many columns are sorted as a result of selecting the option.
      For example, if this is the second column that you want to sort the number 2 is displayed.
    3. Click the nested sorting icon. The column is sorted with regard to the first sorted column.
      Tip: When you move the mouse pointer over the nested sorting icon, the hover help indicates that it is a nested sorting option. For example, the hover help for the icon displays Nested Sort - Click to sort Ascending. The resulting sort order is ascending with regard to the previous columns on which a sorting order was placed.
    4. To reverse the order of the nested sort, click the nested sorting icon again. The order is reversed and the nested sorting icon changes to the remove sorting icon.
    5. To remove nested sorting from a column, move the mouse pointer over the column header and click the Do not sort icon.
    Note: In any sortable column after nested sorting is selected, when you click the standard sorting icon, it becomes the only sorted column in the table and any existing sorting, including nested is removed.

Results

Sorted columns are marked with an upwards-pointing arrow or a downwards-pointing arrow in the column header to indicate whether the column is sorted in ascending or descending order. The sorting is temporary and is not retained.
