You can also sort databases.

To do so, choose the ribbon command Sort db_sort_icon (in the group Records) in the database module.

db_sort_dialog

In the dialog box for Field 1, select the field by which you want to sort.

You can also sort by two fields: For example, to sort all records by last name, and the records containing the same last names by first name, select Name1 under Field 1 and First name under Field 2.

As soon as you confirm with OK, the records are rearranged and the database is saved in the new order.

Note: Sorting physically regroups the records in the database. This action cannot be undone.
