Note:
If sorting and grouping are performed on the database server, sort order may
vary when Unicode or UTF-8 data is used. The order applied depends on
the rules in place for your data source. In certain cases, Unicode data is
sorted by its binary value, but it can also be sorted according to a particular
locale setting. Refer to the documentation for your data source for details on
how Unicode data fields are sorted.
Sort Direction
Direction refers to the order in which the values are displayed, once sorted.
• Ascending
Ascending order means smallest to largest (1 to 9, A to Z, False to True).
The program sorts the records in ascending order based on the values
in the sort field you select.
• Descending
Descending order means largest to smallest (9 to 1, Z to A, True to False).
The program sorts the records in descending order based on the values
in the sort field you select.
