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. |
