REORDERING DATA RECORDS
The top of each column in the Text List View lists the name of a data
field in the collection or portfolio. To sort all records in the Text List
View window by the contents of a particular field, just click the name
of the field to use in sorting your collection.
ImageAXS Pro will immediately sort the collection in ascending
order based on the field you chose. To reverse this order, click the
small arrow icon above the scrollbar on the far right end of the Text
List View window (just below the ImageAXS Pro Help button).

This method of sorting records is only temporary — the order is discarded
when you close the collection. (For instructions on how to sort records in an
order that will be saved, or how to sort by multiple fields in ascending or
descending order, see “Sorting Collections and Portfolios” on page 10-5.)
CHANGING THE WIDTH OF COLUMNS
You can drag the borders of columns in the Text List View to keep
lengthy data entries from being cut off.
To change the width of columns in the Text List View:
STEP 1 Move the pointer over the border (just to the right of the field
label) for the column whose width you want to change.
When it is directly over the border, the pointer will change
to a column resize tool (a double line, with arrows on either
side).
STEP 2 When you see the column resize tool, click and drag the column
border to the desired width.
REORDERING DATA FIELDS
At the top of any column in the Text List View, click the arrow next to
the name of a field to see a list of all fields in the collection or
portfolio.
Choose a field from this pop-up menu to display the contents of that
field in the column you have selected.

After you do this, the contents of the field you choose still appear in their
original location — in other words, the contents of that field appear twice in
the Text List View, while the contents of the field you replaced do not appear
at all.
