Multi-column sorting

You can sort workform tables by multiple columns at the same time. This feature lets you organize data directly in the workform, without exporting data or re-running searches.

With stacked sorting, you create a hierarchical sort by selecting columns in sequence using Shift+click or Shift+Space. Each additional column sorts records within the groups created by the previous columns.

To sort workform tables by multiple columns:

1. Click a column header to set the primary sort. An arrow indicates ascending or descending order.

2. Hold Shift, then click or press Space on additional column headers to add secondary, tertiary, and further sort levels.

   • Numbers appear next to column names to show the sort hierarchy.

   • Click a column header again to toggle between ascending and descending order.

   Clicking the same column header three times in a row resets the stacked sorting.

Example: In a Bibliographic Record Set workform, you can sort first by Author, then by Title, and then by Publication Date, grouping titles by author and date.

Stacked sorting is currently not supported in the Find Tool results.
