Sort

2. The Sort Records dialog appears (see below).

3. The list box on the left will display all of the record fields that can be used for a sort.
4. Records are sorted using options selected in a top to bottom order. That is they are sorted by the first option in the list, then by the second, and then the third.
5. To create a sort order, move the sort options from the left list to the right and/or from the right list to the left using the buttons that lie between the boxes.
6. To move a sort option, highlight it, and click the arrow that points in the direction to move the option.
