Sort & reorder data
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.
a) To sort a column by ascending or descending, hover over the column header and click on the gripper as highlighted.
