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
