• You can manage the list by using the Add button to add a new entry, or by clicking the Edit button at the left hand side of each entry in the list. Some lists such as behavior settings allow you to edit a value, by clicking on the value. If there is a delete capability, edit the list entry and delete the value from there.

Sorting Lists

You can sort lists by clicking on any of the column headings that have a symbol in the heading. When you click on a column heading that is sorted in an ascending order and shows a then the sort symbol alters to show and the list is sorted in descending order using this column.

Sorting List Values

You can sort a field list within the add, edit and query screens for each list field by allocating a sort sequence to its entry within list administration. The sort sequence is a number or string of letters. Valid sort sequences would be:

If no sort sequences are provided, the list is sorted alphabetically, using the title of the field. If you provide a sort sequence, then the entries to the list are sorted in their ASCII sort order sequence. It is recommended that you establish a sort sequence for a list, allowing room to insert new values in the future. This will give the most flexibility. For example, if you have a list that starts with five values, but may grow, use a sequence such as:

This will allow you to insert new values between each of the entries, if needed in the future.
