Sorting in the overview screen

In an overview screen you can sort on the values in every column in Robaws.

You have 2 options for sorting columns:

• Sorting ascending: the arrow points upwards. The lowest or oldest value is at the top, the highest or most recent at the bottom.
• Sorting descending: the arrow points downwards. The highest or most recent value is at the top, the lowest or oldest at the bottom.

You can sort on one column. To do so, click the heading of the column. An arrow appears. From that moment on, sorting is done on this column. Click the same heading again to reverse the sort direction. The whole row is sorted: the values in the other columns always stay with the right record.

You can also sort on several columns. In that case, click the first column and then click other columns while holding the COMMAND key (Mac) or the CTRL key. You will see that a number is shown next to every column you click. This number indicates the sort order of the different columns.

The column with number 1 determines the main order. The column with number 2 only comes into play for rows that have the same value in the first column, and so on. For example, you can sort invoices by customer first and then, within each customer, by date.

The chosen sorting is saved, so you find it again the next time.
