Search Sort tab

In the Sort tab on a Search dialogue box, use the following options to sort a search results list:

• Use default sort order for searches - select this option to use the default Sort option settings. Clear this option to enable the Sort Fields.
• Sort Fields - use the drop-down list to select the fields by which you want Content Manager to sort the search results.

  The options that are available to you in these drop-down boxes depend on what you are searching for and which search editor you are using.

  • 1, 2, 3 - you can specify one, two or three sort fields.

    Content Manager will sort the list by the field in the first box, then by the field in the second box and finally by the field in the third box.

    • No Sort - default.

      Results appear as the search inquiry finds them in the dataset.

      Use for faster searching.

• Descending - select for descending sort order.

  By default, Content Manager sorts a list in ascending order of its sort field - with the lowest numerical, date or alphabetical value at the top of the list and the highest value at the bottom.

• Use alphabetical order for object sorting - this option sorts a result alphabetically by either Record Type, Classification, Schedule or Consignment.
• Set as default sort order for searches for records - select this option to save the selected sort options as the default for all future searches.
