Sorting

You can sort the items in this portlet according to column data. To change the sorting, click the name of the column by which you want to sort.

Column sorting is additive. For example, if you click the Subject column, that column becomes the primary sort column. If you then click the Due Date column, the Subject column becomes the secondary sort column and the Due Date column becomes the primary sort column. This means that the content items are sorted first by due date and then by subject name.
