Sorting is critical to organizing information. There are a variety of ways that columns can be sorted in Acelab. To get started, go to the top navigation and select 'Sort'.

Please note that sorting is also View / column dependent. Each column that is visible will be able to be sorted. Ensure that the columns desired to be sorted and the columns that are to be displayed are correct before applying sorting to the schedule.



The First Sort

If this is the first time sorting on this schedule, the screen below will show.

Then select '+Add Sort Option' to begin to view sorting capabilities. Most visible columns will show as an option for sorting, make your selection(s). Comments, Used in Projects, and Product will not be available for sorting.
​

Select the option that you desire to sort from and then make your selection on the field on the right. Depending on what column you are sorting, the field on the right will update. For example, some options may allow for sorting by A to Z while others may be First to Last.
​
​

If sorting is only being done based on the one field, then select 'Sort'. However, if you need to sort based on multiple columns, continue to select '+Add Sort Option' until the fields are sorted to the extent needed. To remove a sort option, select the 'x' to the far right.

There is also the ability to drag and drop the rows of the sort functionality. Hover over the 6 dots to the right of the x and the cursor will update to a hand allowing for moving different sort rows in different orders as needed.
