Sorting Lists


Most lists in Big Business can be sorted by clicking on the title of a column. The column that is sorted becomes underlined when the list is sorted. The Sort Order button on the right side of the title bar allows the user to switch between Ascending and Descending sort. Often when searching for an item in a search or Pop-Up menu, sorting the list can save you time. Pop-Up lists have the added benefit of jumping to an item in the list when you start typing.

When you export a list from a QuickSearch it is exported in the order in which it is currently sorted. (3040)
