Sort Order

The datasets displayed can be sorted as follows by the various table columns:

Click a column header to display the datasets sorted by the values in the corresponding column. The first column specifies the change or release state; if sorting should be performed by this value, changed or not released datasets are displayed at the very top (or, by clicking again, at the very bottom).

Multiple columns can also be combined using the “Sort Order” line above the overview.  The currently active sorting criteria are displayed in the line. The datasets are sorted according to the sequence displayed for the sorting criteria. The user can change the sequence of the sorting criteria by clicking the brown bar for the relevant sorting criterion, holding the mouse button down, and dragging. The up and down arrows (↑ ↓) are used to set the sorting direction and the “X” deletes the sorting criterion.

If the user wishes to select a different column for an existing sorting criterion, this can be done by clicking the column name. A list opens with the columns available for sorting (columns of the “FIRSTspirit Editor” type cannot be used for sorting). You can sort the datasets on the tab “Current datasets” by the time of modification such that the most recently edited datasets can be shown at the top of the list. This sorting can be enabled by using the new sort criterion “Modification Date”. The user can add additional sorting criteria by clicking the plus sign   or the context menu entry “Add Column” on a column heading. This also opens the list of columns available for sorting. Each column can only be selected once.

Clicking a column header always replaces the first sorting criterion in the sequence. If the selected column was previously a sorting criterion later in the sequence, this later sorting criterion is deleted.
