Sort Properties

After you select business view fields for data sequencing, you can define sort properties for those fields. Use sort properties to indicate whether:

• Records are sorted in ascending or descending order.

  The system displays an arrow pointing up to indicate an ascending order. Click the arrow once to display an arrow pointing down to indicate a descending order.

• Sequencing fields trigger level breaks.

  Select this option to trigger a level break when the value of the field changes. A check mark indicates that the option is selected.

• Level break fields produce page breaks.

  Select this option to begin each unique value for the level break field on a new page. A check mark indicates that the option is selected.

  Note: To set a field as a page break, you must first define the field as a level break.

For example, you can sort records by search type in ascending order, define search type as a level break field, and begin each unique search type on a new page.
