Sorting

Configure sort specifications for columns or dimensions of charts, pivots, results, or tables. The feature provides a powerful point-and-click interface with which to create and maintain sort specifications.

Sort includes a dynamic sort function, that organizes row labels or x-axes, and contains buttons. Alternatively, items can be made available for sorting.

Dashboard frames with sort specifications applied contain Sort Ascending button and Sort Descending button on the top panel, that determine whether the sections are sorted in ascending or descending order. If default sorting is not enabled in QIQ Sort Properties, the option is unavailable.

Note:

This feature is automatically available in Webdash-configured documents.

*  To sort in ascending or descending order:

  1. In Interactive Reporting Studio, perform an action:

    1. To sort in an ascending order, click Sort Ascending button.

    2. To sort in a descending order, click Sort Descending button.

    A drop-down list of configured sort specifications is displayed. The columns in the drop-down list are identical regardless of the button selected. The available sort columns format varies depending on the sort option applied.

  2. Select a column to sort from the available list.

    The selected column is sorted in ascending or descending order, depending on the button that is selected. See Using the QIQ Sort Properties Frame.

  3. Click Sort Ascending button or Sort Descending button again, to hide the drop-down list.
