Table Sorting
All tables on UI pages can be sorted by columns. By default, the information in a table is sorted in ascending
order, using the leftmost column as primary sort. To change the default sort order, click the heading above
the column you want to sort the table by. Successive clicks on the heading toggle between ascending and
descending order.
For example, the following illustration shows the
Event Log
page in its default sort order (sorted by
Log Index
).
To sort the table entries (rows) by the
Event Time
field, simply click the
Event Time
heading.
