Inforiver provides the standard sorting options - ascending/descending and A->Z/Z->A for numeric and non-numeric columns such as date, dropdown, text, and more. Custom sorting orders can also be created using the drag-and-drop reorder feature.
1.1. To sort a column by ascending or descending, hover over the column header and click on the gripper. Select Sort -> Sort Desc.
1.2. You can see that the column gets sorted and there is an icon to denote the descending sort.
1.3. To undo the sorting, click Remove Sort from the column gripper. Alternatively, you can click the sort icon in the header to remove the sort.
1.4. Similarly, sorting can also be applied to non-numeric columns. In a later section, we'll be covering how to insert data input columns such as text, dropdown, date, etc.
1.5. You can see that the dropdown column is sorted in ascending order both at the Category and Sub Category levels.
1.6. Sorting based on text and date columns is shown below.
Click the Sort button on the toolbar for advanced sorting options. You can sort your data based on multiple dimensions or measures. Please bear in mind that you can either sort based on row dimensions or based on measures, not both together.
