Sorting Goal Records

The headers in the Goals grid not only identify the information contained in the columns but also allow the records to be sorted. Clicking a column header causes the rows in the grid to be sorted on the information in the column. 

You can sort content in ascending or descending order. If a column contains text, the information is sorted in alphabetic order (from A to Z or Z to A). If a column contains numbers, the information is sorted in numeric order (from 0 to 9 or 9 to 0).

Clicking the column header changes the sort direction. When you click a header, a directional arrow on the header points in the direction of the sort, as illustrated below:
