2. Using the AccuRev GUI : Working with Tables

Working with Tables
In many contexts, the AccuRev GUI displays data in the form of a rows-and-columns table.
Example: File Browser's Details pane
Example: Workspaces tab
The AccuRev GUI often presents information in the form of a table, with multiple rows and multiple columns. You can adjust all such tables, to maximize their usefulness, as described in the following sections.
Adjusting the Widths and Order of Columns
In any table, you can adjust columns widths and change the column order as follows:
Sorting the Rows of a Table
Initially, the rows of a table are sorted on one column (single-column mode). A direction icon in the header for that column indicates whether the sort is lowest-to-highest or highest-to-lowest.
Note: In the Details pane of the File Browser (and any other table that lists file names and directory names in the same column), a lowest-to-highest sort places all directories before all files; a highest-to-lowest sort places all files before all directories.
Left-click on any column header to continue in this mode:
 You can switch at any time to multiple-columns mode, in which you define a primary sort column, a secondary sort column, and so on. Right-click any column header to switch sort modes.
A "1" appears next to the direction icon in the current sort column, indicating that this is now the primary sort column.
Click another column to make it the secondary sort column. A direction icon annotated with "2" appears in this column, and the rows are reordered according to the two-level sort. Continue in this way to define additional sort levels.
In multiple columns mode, you can:
The table's rows are resorted automatically each time you perform any of these actions.
Using the Keyboard to Navigate through a Table
The keyboard's navigation keys—up-arrow, down-arrow, PgUp, PgDn, Ctrl-PgUp,
Ctrl-PgDn—move a table's selection highlight in the expected way. In addition, you can navigate by typing any alphanumeric character; this moves the selection highlight to the next row whose entry in the (primary) sort column begins with that character.
