Sorting the Columns

By default, the columns are sorted by the Slate value, in ascending order. You can sort
the data based on any displayed column by clicking the column’s name. The name
changes color to indicate it is controlling the sort, and an arrow appears to show the
sort direction. An arrow pointing up indicates an ascending sort order, and an arrow
pointing down indicates a descending order. Click the column’s name to change the
sort direction.

Locating records with missing items
Sorting the columns can make it easy to locate records with missing items. For example,
selecting the Cam Roll column groups together all records without an entry in that field
and places them at the top or bottom of the list, depending on the arrow’s direction.

Finding specific records
You can locate a record using a specific key number or timecode by sorting the
columns. For example, selecting the Keycode column puts the records in order based
on their key numbers. You can then scroll through the list and locate a record using a
specific film frame.
