Reusing the same sorting instructions (named sort)

    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.
