Sorting

What is Sorting?

Sorting is the process of putting a list or a group of items in Grid in a specific order. Some common sorting criteria are: alphabetical or numerical. Sorting can also be done in ascending order (A-Z) or descending order (Z-A).

Ascending: When the user clicks once on the sort button in the column header, the table view sorts its items by that column's value, using an ascending sort order. An sorting indicator appears in the column header to indicate that the column is sorted ascending.

Descending: When the user clicks on the sort button of a column that has a sort mode of "Ascending", the sort mode changes to "Descending". The sorting indicator  changes to indicate that column is sorted descending.

NoSort: The user can remove the sort on a column by clicking the sort button of a column that has a sort mode of "Descending". When the sort mode is "NoSort", no sorting indicator appears in the column header.

You can also sort or clear sort by right clicking on the target column header and select the option "Sort Ascending" or "Sort Descending" or "Clear Sorting" as shown below in image -1.
