and a greater-than or less-than sign displayed in the selected column settings: a greater-than sign (>) indicates that the information in the associated column is sorted in ascending order; a less-than sign (<) indicates that the information is sorted in descending order. You can choose as many levels as you want for your sort, and you can mix ascending and descending sorts in different columns. To return the view to the default sort order, select the Reset Sort Order option available on the right-mouse menu.

Figure 4-6, below, illustrates the default (Logical Address) sort order, and the same view with a multi-level sort applied. Note that the multi-level sort mixes ascending and descending orders in the different columns.

By default, List Views are sorted in Logical (IP) Address order; if you wish, you can also apply a multi-level sort, selecting the columns whose information you wish to sort by, and toggling each column’s sort between ascending and descending order.

Searching a List View

Using the Find feature, you can search a List View for any value displayed in its columns. The Find window will search the contents of the active List View for a text string (with options for searching a partial string and for case sensitivity), or for a specific value displayed in a selected column type. You can also search upwards or downwards from your current position, and choose to continue the search when the top or bottom of the displayed view is reached.
