Sorting a List of Objects

Whenever you have a list of objects in a section of the Configuration page, you can sort that list of objects in ascending or descending order. By default, the new objects are displayed in chronological order, where the object at the bottom of the list is the most recently added object.

There are three sort orders:

default
The object at the top of the list is the oldest, while the object at the bottom of the list is the most recently added object. If you edit an object, its position does not change while the list is sorted in the default order.
ascending
The objects are displayed from 0 to 9 first, followed by A to Z, then by a to z.
descending
The objects are displayed from z to a first, followed by Z to A, then by 9 to 0.

    Note:
  • The ascending and descending sort orders are case-sensitive, meaning that the application sorts uppercase and lowercase letters separately.
  • The sort feature adjusts only the order of the objects for that user, without changing any order for everyone else. If someone opens the same page on a different system, that person sees the objects in their default order.
To sort a list of objects:
  1. On the Configuration page, go to the appropriate section.
    For example, to sort the list of locations, select Manage Locations.
  2. To sort the objects in case-sensitive ascending order by a column heading, select that column heading.
      Note:
    • You can sort the objects in a list by any column heading.
  3. To sort the objects in case-sensitive descending order, select the column heading again.
  4. To return to the default sort order, select the column heading a third time.
      Note:
    • If you sort a list of objects, the application maintains your sort criteria even if you select the RefreshRefresh button button in one of the sections of the Configuration page.
    • If you leave the page and then return or if you refresh the web page from the browser, the sort order is reset to default.
