Searching and Sorting Records

As your library grows in size, using the sort and search tools will make it quicker and easier to locate the records you want to use.
 

Sorting

To sort records, click on any of the column headings. For example, clicking on the Title column heading, records will be sorted A-Z by title. Click on the Title column heading again, records will be sorted Z-A.
