Multiple sort for lists

[JayaBharathi]

Is it possible to sort a list based on more than one field?
i.e If in 'Tasks' module, if I click on 'Number' to sort it by the Number, then if I click on 'Priority' it should sort by 'task number' and then by "Priority".
Thanks in advance,

Hi Jaya,

Yes it is possible to add sorting queries to your lists. I've attached a picture showing you the button from the list. You have to open your filter to make these changes though.

Hi Wesley,

Thanks for the reply. I don't want to fix the sort order using filters. Instead user should be to sort multiple columns when he clicks on the column header.

Thanks in advance

Hi Jaya,

I'm afraid it is not possible to do such a thing then. Clicking on one of the column headers would just negate the previously set order field, and replace it with the one clicked. You would have to customize something for that.

Hi Wesley,

Thank you for the response. Can you tell me internally which function does g_list.sort('field_name') function calls. I found this function in sort(a to z) of UI Context Menu. I was trying to understand so that i can customize it.

Thanks and Regards,
