Sorting Statistics Panel Tabs
You can sort the Statistics panel tabs by any available entity or metric
by clicking in a column heading. Click a second time to reverse the sort
order. For example, you can sort the IP Address tab by packets by
clicking in the Packets column heading. In response, the IP Address
with the most packets will be shown at the top of the tab. Clicking a
second time shows the IP Address with the least amount of packets at
the top of the tab.
Sorts Not Applied to Aliases
When you sort on a tab’s index column, the sort is not applied to
aliases. Instead, the sort applies to the underlying values for any entity
displayed with an alias. This is true of both predefined and custom
aliases.
For example, if you sorted the IP Protocol tab by the IP Protocol
column, the addresses would be sorted by their numerical identifiers
rather than the textual aliases. This means that after a sort by IP
Protocol, TCP would appear ahead of RSVP because its numerical ID
(6) is less than RSVP’s (46) even though its alias is alphabetically after
RSVP.
Sorts and “0.0.0.0” IP Addresses
When you sort a Statistics Panel tab on an IP Address column, the
0.0.0.0 IP address, if present in the selected traffic, appears in the
opposite position of what you would normally expect:
When an ascending sort is applied and addresses are sorted from
least to greatest (for example, from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.75),
the 0.0.0.0 address, if present in the selected traffic, would appear
at the end of the list, after 192.168.1.75.
When a descending sort is applied and addresses are sorted from
greatest to least (for example, from 192.168.1.75 to 192.168.1.1),
the 0.0.0.0 address, if present in the selected traffic, would appear
at the start of the list, before 192.168.1.75.
