Changing the Column Sort Order
To change the sorting order for one or more columns in a table, follow the steps below:
1. Right-click the table, and select 'Sorting' from the context menu. This opens the 'Sorting' dialog box.
Grouping fields are not listed. To sort a grouping field, see Grouping Data in a Table.
2. In the 'Sorting' dialog box, click to the left of the field you wish to sort. A small arrow indicates the prevailing sort. Click once to set ascending (alphabetical) order, click a second time to set descending (reverse alphabetical) order, and click a third time to remove the sorting.

3. (Optional) Repeat the above step to simultaneously sort additional fields.
Sorting on multiple fields creates a nested sorting. The position of a given field in the sorting hierarchy is defined by its position in the 'Sorting' dialog box. For example, consider a sort specified for both a 'State' field and 'City' field. If the 'State' field appears above the 'City' field in the dialog box, then the records are sorted primarily by 'State', and are sorted secondarily (i.e., within each state) by 'City'.
4. (Optional) To change the nesting order for multiple-field sorting, change the order of the fields in the 'Sorting' dialog box. Use one of the following approaches:
a. Click in the 'Sorting' dialog box to select a sorted field. Then click the “arrow” buttons at the top of the dialog box to change the field's relative position.
b. Click on the field name, and drag the field to the desired position.

3. Click 'OK' to close the dialog box.
