Sorting the Contents of a Grid

You can sort the contents of a grid by any of the columns displayed in the grid window. (For example, you can sort a list of MARC tags in Cataloging’s Syntax and Validation grid by the tags’ labels or descriptions.)

To sort the contents of a grid

1 Start a process that uses grids.

Horizon displays the grid for the process you chose.

2 Do one of these options:

To sort this way

Do this

Using one column

1 Double-click the column heading by which you want to sort.

Using multiple columns

1 Double-click the column heading you want to use as the primary sort column.
2 Hold down the CTRL key and double-click the column heading you want to use as a secondary sort column.

Horizon displays an arrow in the column heading to indicate which column it used to sort the information. (If you are sorting using multiple columns, Horizon displays numbers in the column headings to indicate the order in which it is sorting information.)

Here is an example of Horizon sorting the MARC tags grid in the Cat Type form for Cataloging’s Syntax and Validation grid:

Note: The sort remains in effect only while the grid is open. Once you close the grid, Horizon reverts to the default sort order.
