Sorting for Multiple Columns

If you want to sort the list according to multiple columns, the result produced depends on the sequence in which the columns are sorted. You therefore specify the sort sequence.

Procedure

To define the sort sequence, open the Settings dialog box.
For more information: Using the Dialog Box with Settings for the List
Choose the Sorting tab page.
The Sorted Columns list lists all columns according to which the list is sorted.

Note
If you display the list as a hierarchy, all hierarchy columns are displayed in the Sorted Columns list. They are highlighted in color, that is, you cannot change their sort sequence here.
