Sort

 

The Sort feature allows you to organize table data in ascending or descending order based on any column. You can sort directly from the table by clicking a column header whenever you need, or you can predefine sorting preferences for each column using the Sort button. This provides flexibility to quickly reorder data on the fly or apply consistent sorting rules across multiple columns in advance.
