This form allows you to define multi-column sort orders for Stream Data.


Note that sorting large amounts of data can take some time. To ensure that data is returned as quickly as possible, use filters to ensure that only the data you need is sorted. If there are particular sort orders which need to be applied across large sets of data, please contact PhixFlow Support for help with tuning your PhixFlow instance.
