Sorting records in a field

 

 

As the attribute table is opened, the attributes are listed in the order of the numbers of FID field. Then, you can use "Sort Ascending" or "Sort Descending" to change the order of the data in the field.

 

Take the table for example. It is the attribute table of a road layer. If you want the attribute list to be in ascending order, you can right-click the heading of PERIMETER and click "Sort Ascending."

 

 

 

 

After clicking "Sort Ascending", the data in PERIMETER field are listed in ascending order and a sign △ is marked in the heading of the field. If you click "Sort Descending", the heading will be marked with ▽. Since the order of the data is changed, the order of FID field will be neither ascending nor descending.

 

     

 

 

Meanwhile, you can also sort with multiple fields. Dragging mouse on columns continuously enables users to select multiple columns. You can also utilize Shift or Ctrl button to select column multiply.

 

　　

 

　　

 

 

NOTE: To cancel selection, you can click FID in window after sorting.
