Sorting in Power Viewer

Multi-level sorting (a maximum of 3 levels) is available on HTML PowerViewer.

If the report is sorted by column A, and if it is also sorted by column B, then this will become the case of multi-level sorting.  Here the report is first sorted by Column A and within it, sorted by column B.

To sort the report, you need to do the following:

1. Point and right-click the mouse on the header of the column by which you want to sort the report. A context-menu appears.

2. Point the mouse to Sort option. A sub menu appears.

3. Click the right option from the options available in the menu. Click Apply on the Actionboard.

The report will be refreshed and will arrange the records in sorted order.

Note: The options made available on sort sub menu will depend on the field’s sorting status.  For example, primary sorting (Ascending) is applied on the field, the submenu will have Descending option.  If Secondary (descending) or lower level of sorting is applied on the field, the menu will have Descending, Ascending (Primary) and Descending (Primary) as options.

After sorting is applied, an arrow button indicating sort type and level appears on header for first level sorting, second level sorting and third level sorting.

The action that takes places upon clicking the button will depend on what is setup.  It will be any of the following:

• Reverse the sort order

• Make the field primary sort field
