Sorting Variables
482
In addition to grouping, for the list of variables it is possible to specify sorting by any column. By default,
the sorting is turned off. To turn it on, it is enough to bring the cursor to the header of that column of the
table of variables by which the variables are to be sorted. The tooltip “Sorting by: …” with the name of
the selected column will appear on the screen. If one hits pointing at the header of the column, then the
rows of the table of variables will be sorted by the selected characteristic. In the header of the column, by
which the sorting is carried out, an additional symbol in the form of a triangle will appear, showing the
direction of the sorting: – for sorting in ascending order, – for sorting in descending order.
By default the mode of sorting in an ascending order is turned on initially. Pressing on the header of a
column repeatedly turns on the sorting in a descending order. For sorting by another characteristic, it is
enough to press on the header of the corresponding column.
Sorting can be canceled with the help of the command “Cancel Sorting” in the context menu called from
the headers' bar of the table of variables (i.e. in the area of the header of any column of the table). This
command is available only when the mode of sorting is turned on. Also, in the context menu the commands
“Sort Column Ascending” and “Sort Column Descending” are available. They activate sorting by
the column for which, in the column header, the context menu was called.
