Sorting Dashboard Data Columns

To sort multiple columns in a hierarchical fashion, follow these steps:

1. Right-click the table title row, and select 'Sort Column(s)' from the context menu. This opens the 'Sort Column' dialog box.
2. From the 'Sort on' drop-down menus, select the table columns that you wish to sort.
• The hierarchical sort order of a column is determined by the vertical position of the menu. The column specified in the top menu is sorted first, the column specified in the second-to-top menu is sorted sec­ond, and so on.
3. For each column, select the 'Ascending' or 'Descending' button to determine the sorting direction.

When a column is sorted, its sort order is indicated by the small arrow next to the column name in the column header cell.
