Siebel Fundamentals for Siebel Open UI > Completing Common Record Tasks > Sorting List ColumnsYou can sort the records in a list by the values in one or more columns. For example, you can sort accounts to appear alphabetically by name (by sorting on the Name column). You can use an advanced sort to sort by up to three columns at once. For example, you might want to sort the accounts by name, then by current volume of sales, and then by city. CAUTION: If you use any special characters in a field, such as parentheses, then you might encounter problems when you try to sort records. The active sort order of a column is designated in the column header. A dark arrow pointing up means the values in the column are sorted in ascending order. A dark arrow pointing down means the values in the column are sorted in descending order. Figure 36 shows an example the sort arrows in a column header. NOTE: The sort order resets when you leave a screen, unless you save the sort order as part of a query. This option is available only for My views. For more information about querying, see Using Query to Locate Information. Sorting a Single List ColumnYou can sort data a single column in ascending order and in descending order.
