Sort Text Values 

Use

You can use menu commands as a shortcut to sort the text values of a text attribute in ascending or descending order.

Procedure

To sort the list of text values for a text attribute:

       1.      In the Attributes pane, select the text attribute whose values you want to sort.

       2.      Right-click on the attribute, and choose Sort Text Values from the context menu, or choose Attributes ® Sort Text Values from the main menu.

       3.      Choose the sort order from the cascading menu:

¡        Ascending

¡        Descending

MDM sorts the text values in the order you specify.

You can also Sort Text Values using the context menu in the text value list of the Attribute Detail tab.

The MDM Client brings up a confirmation dialog before actually performing the sort, to make sure you don’t inadvertently override the manual sort order of the text values.
