Sorting Block Information

The default sorting method for viewing block information organizes information first by block type and then by date of block. (For example, all overdue notice blocks are grouped together by date, all fine blocks are grouped together by date, all hold blocks are grouped together by date, and so forth.) This grouping gives you an overview of blocks by type of block. You can also sort by the options listed below:

Sort by Item. Horizon organizes information first by item barcode and then by date. (For example, overdue notices, fines, and a fine payment on a single item are grouped together, even though they are different block types.) This grouping gives you an overview of all block actions against the item.
Sort by Date. Horizon organizes the information first by date and then by block type.
Sort by Borrower. This option is only available when Group Blocks is selected. Horizon organizes the information first by borrower name and then by date.

You can sort the block information in Current Blocks or History Blocks. In Current Blocks, the secondary sort is the date of the block. In History Blocks, the secondary sort is the date of the resolution of the block.

To view block information by item barcode

1 Open the Current Blocks or History Blocks window. (For instructions, see Viewing a Borrower’s Current Blocks from Checkout, Viewing a Borrower’s Current Blocks from Checkin, Viewing Blocks in a Family Group or Viewing a Borrower’s Block History.)
2 Choose Blocks, then select the sort options you want to use.

Horizon sorts the information and displays it in order by selected sort type.

Note: Horizon sorts information by the selected sort type until you deselect the sort option, select a different sort option, or close Circulation.
