Sort

Sorting allows an owner to identify subsets of entries to be used in a view and to assist in finding entries for editing.

Sorting entries

Individual columns of data on the Entries Summary screen are sorted as follows:

Column Title Default Arrangement
Performed Year performed with most recent listed first, by Academic year, followed by semester (fall, summer, spring)
Area Alphabetical (Reasearch, Service, Teaching)
Title Alphabetical
Category Alphabetical
Entered Year, Month, date

Entries on the Entries Summary screen are automatically sorted by the first column in the table header bar. By default, the table bar displays Performed as the first column which means that entries are listed by the year in which they were performed.

Reverse Sorting Order

To reverse the order of items displayed in the column, click the arrow or title in the column header bar and then click Sort.

Sorting by other columns

  • Click and hold the mouse button on the column header word: Title, Area, Category, Performed or Entered in the table header bar.
  • Drag the selected word to the desired column. When the tip of the arrow intersects thin double red lines that are displayed on the left edge of the desired column, release the mouse button.
  • The columns will realign and display in the revised order. Note: the sort structure of information in the first column causes information in the remaining columns to re-order accordingly. For example, when the first column is changed from the default setting of Performed (see above) to Title (see below), the entries realign in alphabetical order and the date each was performed changes accordingly in the Performed column.
