Sorting Settings

Tools → Table Editor → Sorting

Allows you to sort the type of objects and category information after you have set it up in the Filter menu of the Table Editor.

You can sort the information by object name or by a particular column. You can set the type of sorting. You can select:

■Alphanumeric sorting - Sorts the information so that alphabetic characters are first followed by numeric characters

■Numeric sorting - Sorts objects based on their numeric values. It sorts any alphanumeric characters as zeros.

Note:

When you sort the Table Editor, Adams View sets the values displayed in cells back to those stored in the Modeling database. Therefore, you lose any changes you made to cells and did not apply to your modeling database.
