Moving and Sorting Filters


You can change the order of the filters in the filters panel, either by moving them as you like, or by sorting them in alphabetical order.

  1. Click on a filter and drag it to another position in the filters panel.

    Response: A horizontal black line appears, indicating where the filter will be placed.

  2. Drop the filter where you want to place it.

  3. Comment: You can only move a filter within the data table group that it belongs to, not to another data table.

  1. In the filters panel, right-click somewhere inside the data table group that you want to sort. Avoid clicking inside a filter group since that will allow you to sort only the filters in that group.

  2. Select Sort Filters and Groups from the pop-up menu.

  3. Select whether you want to sort the filters and groups in Ascending or Descending alphabetical order.

  4. Response: The filters and groups within the selected data table group is sorted according to you selection. Note that it is only the actual filter groups that are sorted; filters within a filter group will not be sorted. To filter within a filter group, see below.

  1. In the filters panel, right-click on the filter group that you want to sort.

  2. Select Sort Filters from the pop-up menu. (If you click on the filter group heading, select Sort Filters In Group from the menu).

  3. Select whether you want to sort the filters in Ascending or Descending alphabetical order.

  4. Response: The filters in the selected filter group are sorted according to you selection.
