Open the
Change Request,
Requirement,
Task,
Topic, or
Audit Log view.
Choose
Filters > Sort and Group.
The
Sort and Group dialog box opens displaying four group boxes, each indented slightly more to the right than the one above it. The first group
box designates a primary sort order, the second designates a secondary sort, and so on.
Optional: Check the
Show Advanced Fields check box to list all the fields in
First By and
Then By list boxes.
Select a field from the
First By list box.
If you are grouping the items, you do not need to display the field in the view. If you are not grouping the items, you can
sort them based on a field that is not displayed, but you will not be able to tell where one group leaves off and the next
begins.
Click
Ascending or
Descending option button.
The default setting is ascending order.
Select
Group By to group the items which have the same values in this field.
If you do not select any additional sort options, text fields are sorted in ASCII order. Enumerated and user ID fields are
sorted by their internal order or internal keys. That is, enumerated fields are sorted in the order given to them by the person
who created the field; user ID fields are sorted in the order in which they were created. The application disables the
Sort Options button for numeric and date/time fields.
Optional: Click
Sort Options for additional sorting selections.
The
Sort Options dialog box opens.
Select
By internal key or order to sort enumerated and user ID files by their internal order or internal keys.
Select
As text to sort enumerated and user ID fields by the names of their possible values. For text fields,
As Text is your only choice.
Uncheck
Case-sensitive to sort alphabetically or check it to sort in ASCII order (where uppercase letters precede lowercase letters).
Add secondary and lower order sorts by using the
Then By Group boxes as needed.
