Sorting a list

You can arrange a list in a different order by choosing one of the sort options available.

Before you begin

If you have not already done so, open the List window in one of the following ways.

  • Click List button next to a field.
  • Click Down arrow in a field or cell.
  • Press F10.

To sort a list of entries:

  1. (optional) Select the source option to display a list of entries from either the current estimate or standard database.
  2. Use one of the following methods to select the sort option that is most useful to you.

    Note: Not every List window has both options.

    • Select your option from the Sort Item List By dropdown list.
    • Right-click the item list area, and then choose your sort option from the Sort Item List By list.

    Typical sorting options include Description and Phase/Item. You can also set up your own item sort sequences. For more information about setting up item sorting, see Setting up item sorting.

  3. If necessary, press [¬] to collapse a list or [®] to expand a list.
