To Specify Sort Order

To specify sort order

1. Right-click the header of the column you want to sort by, and click Sort Ascending or Sort Descending.

• Note: Ascending order sorts rows by that column, starting with the smallest value and ending with the largest value (for example: a-z, 1-9, Monday-Friday). The sorting is numerically logical, so, for example, B10 will be displayed after B9, and not B1. Descending order sorts rows by that column starting with the largest value and ending with the smallest value.
• If you move tasks up or down in the hierarchy, then sort by ascending or descending order, the sort order will be applied to all tasks and any movement of tasks will be overridden.
• The task hierarchy is preserved during the sorting process, so that tasks are sorted first by container, then by container contents.
• If sorting is selected on the Status column, tasks will be effectively grouped by their status, for example, all tasks with a status of Early Start will be grouped together, and all tasks with a status of Early Finish will be grouped together.
