Clicking on the header cell will toggle the sort order between ascending and descending orders.
You can also set the sort order by selecting

double-click on the selected project.
To delete a project, click on the project then press the

the delete key on the keyboard. The

dialog requires you to
confirm deletion.
Right-click anywhere in the Project Selection List to open the

context menu (

)
, and select
Sort
to access the Project Sorting feature. The listed
projects can be sorted by up to four criteria in either ascending or descending order.
Use the four sets of radio buttons to specify up to four sorting operations, in
sequential order.
After the desired settings have been selected click the Sort button to return to the
sorted project list.
Once a project has been selected, you can use the
File menu
or the

the project.
If a project is not exported before deleting, you will not be able to bring the project
back into DXP-PRO for modifications at a later date.
