If you often sort a database with the same criteria, you can easily reuse the sorting instructions by saving them as a named sort. You can also use named sorts to create reports.

To create a named sort:

1	Choose New Sort from the sort pop-up menu on the left side of the document window (except in Browse mode).
2	Type a name for the sort.
3	Create sorting instructions.

To use a named sort:

1	If you're not already in Browse or List mode, choose Browse or List from the Layout menu.
2	Choose the named sort from the sort pop-up menu.

To modify a named sort:

1	Choose Edit Sorts from the sort pop-up menu.
2	Select a sort from the list, then click Modify.
3	To rename the search, type a new name, then click OK.
4	Modify the sort criteria.

To delete a named sort:

1	Choose Edit Sorts from the sort pop-up menu.
2	Select a sort from the list and click Delete.
