Sorting a List Window

You can sort a list by any of the columns displayed in a list window. (For example, you can sort a list of book titles by their publication dates.) Here is a sample window:

If the list does not display the fields you want to sort by, you can add them. (For instructions, see Changing the Columns in a List Window .)

To sort a list window

1 Click Sort in the list window.

Horizon displays a dialog box showing the default sort order for the List window. Here is an example:

2 Click the first option you want to sort by. (For example, if you want Horizon to display entries in order by year, click Pub Date.) Horizon moves the sort option you chose to the top of the list in the dialog box.
3 Click additional options to sort by, in the order in which you want the entries to be sorted. (For example, if you clicked Pub Date as the first sort option, you can click Title as the second sort option to display titles published in the same year alphabetically by title.) As you choose an option, Horizon moves the option toward the top of the list in the dialog box.
4 If you want, mark the Descending sort box to sort the list from last to first (for example, from Z to A or from the year 2000 to 1900).
5 Click OK to save your changes and return to the list window.

Note: The sort remains in effect only while you are in the list window. Once you close the window, the default sort fields return.
