Sort By
The center section shows a list of checkboxes where you can define how the filtered list is sorted. This is a hierarchical sort defined by the boxes checked. You can use up to three sorts in a single report. Check the sort order in the order you want jobs to be displayed.
For example, if you wanted to show all jobs sorted by salesperson first and then sorted by customer, first check Sales Rep Name and then check Customer Last Name. Choosing those two boxes would cause Aaron’s customers to be sorted alphabetically under Aaron followed by Zach’s list of alphabetical customers’ jobs. Each sort header will display totals for that section of data.
We won’t define each sort option here in the manual, as their names are fairly self-explanatory.
