You can change the order in which rows are displayed by changing the sort order. The Repository Manager lets you sort by the values in a column or by the data length of a column. The sort can be in ascending or descending order.
To change the sort order of a list by value
Right-click the label of the column on which you want to base the sort.
Select Sort > Ascending or Sort > Descending.
To change the sort order of a list by attribute length
Right-click the label of the column on which you want to base the sort.
Select Sort by Length > Ascending or Sort by Length > Descending.
To base the sort on multiple columns
Right-click any column label.
Select Multi-Column Sort. The Multi-Column Sort window opens.
In the Sort Items By field, specify the following information for the primary sort key:
Column name
Direction (ascending or descending)
Type of sort: by default, Repository Manager sorts by value; if you want to sort by data length, click the Sort by Length check box.
Uniqueness: Check the Unique check box if you want the list to display only rows that contain unique values in this column.
Repeat step 3 for each level of sort you want to apply.
Click OK.
