Filter and sort administration tables

All tables within the Administration pages include the option to sort, filter, reorder, and manage the columns shown. This enables you to find and show what you need when managing administrative settings.

Note: Table settings are not saved. This means your settings will revert to their defaults when you navigate to a different page.

Sort a column alphanumerically

  1. Hover your pointer over the column heading that contains the values for which you want to sort the table.

    An arrow (sort arrow) is shown.

  2. Click the arrow to sort the table by the values in the chosen column alphanumerically in ascending order.

    The arrow becomes darker (sort ascending) and remains visible to indicate the sort order of the column.

  3. Click the arrow again to sort the table in descending order.

    The arrow points down (sort descending). Again, it remains visible to indicate the sort order of the column.

    Alternatively, you may click the column action menu ( column action menu ) and select sort ascending Sort by ASC or sort descending Sort by DESC.

Tip: To return to the default sorting, click the column action menu ( column action menu ) and select Unsort.

  4. Once you have selected the operator, enter your filtering criteria in the Value field. Depending on the contents of the column, the Value field might be a drop-down list, a calendar date picker, or a free text field.

You may add additional lines to the filtering criteria to filter a column with more than one operator and value, or across more than one column.
