Organizing List Items

You can sort a grid by column, in alphabetical, reverse alphabetical, ascending or descending order. To sort a grid, click on a column heading. Each click toggles sorting by ascending or descending alphabetical order. You can sort a grid by multiple fields at the same time. For example, if you would like to sort first by Username and then by Email Address, click the Username column header, then the Email Address column header.

You cannot sort by the Commands column.
