Changing the order that records are displayed in a grid

Most grids used in the listing and analysis commands, can be sorted according to the values in any column. This enables you, for example, to list animals according to their weight gain to weaning, birth date, age at first calving or whatever parameter you require.

To sort a grid according to the values in a column, click with the right mouse button on any value in the column that you want to sort by (note: a column value, not a column heading). If the grid can be sorted then a pop-up screen will appear:

First sort key (ascending): Sort the records in the grid in ascending order with the current column as the first sort level. Sorting by age would display all records with the youngest animal as the first record, the oldest as the last. First sort key will take preference over any earlier sorts on the list
First sort key (descending): Sort the records in the grid in descending order with the current column as the first sort level. Sorting by age would display all records with the oldest animal as the first record, the youngest as the last.
Add sort key: Sort the records according to the values in the column. If another column has been selected as the First sort key, the added column would be the second sort level. For example, having Type (breeding females, non-breeding females etc) as the first sort key and Age as an added sort key would display all the animals of the same type together (1st sort), then within each type the records would be sorted by age (added sort).
Edit: View the currently selected animal record.
