Grid Sorting

Top  Previous  Next

Default grid sorting is applied, column by column, from left to right beginning with the first non-null column on the left.

 

If a custom sort order has been specified, sorting will first follow the custom sort order and then sort on the remaining columns beginning with the left most column. The following is an example of default grid sorting (by Note Type, then by Last Update On) on a Notes grid in StaffUI:

 

w_GridSorting_DefaultSort

 

Column Click Sorting

Click sorting a column first applies sorting on the column that was selected and then applies sorting according to the configured sort order.

 

The following is an example of click sorting on a Notes grid in StaffUI by the following:

Last Update By

Note Type

Last Update On

etc.

 

w_GridSorting_ClickSort

 

NOTE:

The primary sort column will have an indicator of the sort direction. (Up or Down arrow indicating ascending or descending sort order.)

When a column is sorted in ascending order, empty (null) values will be at the end.

When a check box column is sorted in ascending order, unchecked values will be first, followed by checked values.

Sort order can be changed by selecting any column header. Selecting the column again will reverse the sort, in descending order.

Selecting a column with type icons will sort the column according to the type of object.
