Temporarily Changing the Asset Sort Order
You can temporarily change the sort order of your assets in the Asset List.
The assets in the Asset List are displayed according to the Sort Criteria tab of the currently active group (most often by System Number). To temporarily change asset sort order, select another general information field by which to sort the group. The general-information field names are listed at the top of each column in the Asset List.
- Do one of the following:
- Double-click the column header of the field by which you want to sort the assets. The assets are sorted in ascending order by the selected field. Double-click the column header again to sort the assets in descending order.
- Right-click the column header, and from the pop-up menu select Sort By. The assets are sorted in ascending order by the selected field. Right-click the column header and select Sort By again to sort the assets in Descending order.
Select Window/Restore Group Sort from the menu bar. The Asset List displays the original sort order of the current group, which could consist of more than one sort level.
Tip: You can use this procedure to find out if any asset fields are blank. For example, to quickly discover if any assets have blank G/L Expense Account numbers, sort your assets by that field. Any assets with blank G/L Expense Account numbers will appear at the top of the list.
Note: When you use this method to sort assets, the new sort order is only temporary. When you close the company and then re-open it, or you select another group to display, the assets will be sorted in their original order.
