Create multi-column sort orders for data that is displayed in a stream view.
Note: 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.
For information about the properties toolbar, and about the sections Parent Details, Analysis Models, Description and Audit Summary, see Common Properties. We recommend you always add a Description that explains the purpose of the item you are creating.
For a full list of all the PhixFlow property tabs and windows, see Properties, Windows, Menus and Toolbars.
If the stream property tab has been opened from a stream data grid, the toolbar includes
Refresh the grid using sort order. This does not save the sort order.
