Sorting A Listbox

By default, the list are displayed randomly. You have two way to sort a list, depending of the number of sorting criteria :

  • One for a unique sorting criteria,
  • the other for multiple sorting criteria

One sorting criteria

You can sort a list just by clicking on the column title. This column will become the sorting criteria. You can change the criteria by clicking on a new column title.

As you can see, just by clicking on the name of the column, I sorted the records by Transaction Type :

The little Green icon illustrate that the column "Transaction Type" is used as sorting criteria. If you re-click on it, you will change the order of the sorting.

Only the underline Title can be used as sorting criteria.

  1. Click on the Sorting Icon Sorting Icon
