Sort values

Value tables can be sorted.

By double-clicking

Values of the value table are sorted alternately in ascending or descending order ac­cor­ding to respective columns by double-clicking the column header Symbol or Description with the left mouse button.

Through the context menu

The context menu is retrieved by right-clicking (or using the keyboard shortcut SHIFT + F10); menu items for sorting the value table can be found there. The cell currently marked determines which column will be used for sorting.

Additional hints

  • The last value in the case of conditions has the else meaning and is therefore excluded from sorting.

  • If all values of the marked columns are numerical, sorting is done not alphabetically but numerically, i.e.:
     − not: 1, 12, 2, 23, 3, 32, 4, etc.
     − but: 1, 2, 3, 4, 12, 23, 32, etc.

  • The sorting sequence of rules in the decision table is determined by the position of values in the value table, see also: Standard sorting of rules.
