When you view data in the List View, it is displayed in a spreadsheet format using columns and rows. By default, it is sorted in ascending order, based on the values of the data in the first column.
You can rearrange the order of the data by sorting rows based on the data values in another column, or you can rearrange the data based on the length of the data values in a column you select.
If the list you are working with is long, you may want to arrange the rows based on the values in multiple columns, so that you can quickly find the information you need. For example, you may want to sort the rows by account number, and then by state, and finally by city.
Note: If you are basing your sort on the values of multiple columns, you may also want to
reposition some of
the columns so the ones you are most interested in are adjacent.
