Sorting Columns Overview
The information in columns can be sorted:
- In descending order or ascending order (if in descending order, numbers are listed first, then characters)
- Multiple columns can be sorted (from one up to as many sortable columns that are displayed can be selected for sorting) QUESTION - IS THIS TRUE
If a column can be sorted it will contain dark grey or light grey up and down arrows. A dark arrow indicates that column is the currently active sorted column and the way it is pointing indicates the sort order
