Sorting Data

To sort records choose:

• Sort from the Select menu OR
• Click on the Sort icon in the Edit toolbar.

In the Sort Dialog, you can choose the fields to sort by and optionally specify the sort order (ascending or descending) for each field.

You can also copy your current sort settings to the clipboard by pressing the Copy button. Copying the sort order is especially useful if you want to use these sort settings in a method (script).

NOTE: The exact implementation of the sort depends on the backend database you are using because Servoy sends sort commands to the backend database for optimal performance. This is particularly important if you are using an International character set in your database.
