Search Options: Sorting

You can define sorting options on the Search page for when the search results yield a one-to-many relationship between the initial sorting field and the additional sorting fields. For example, you can either alphabetize records within the Third Party Profile application by sorting by ascending values in the Third Party Name field, or you can sort records in the Third Party Profile application by the values in the Risk Rating field.

Sort Search Results

You can sort your search results by multiple fields, and you can sort how records appear within the initial sort. When sorting by multiple fields, numeric indicators show the sort order.
