Summary

You can sort employees in ascending or descending order based on Details headers.

Sort by one column

When you click any of the Employee View Details headers, that column’s data will be sorted in ascending order. If you click the header again, then the data will be sorted in descending order. Use Ctrl+Click to remove sorting.

Important: You should not sort the data in the Employee View Totals area because of the large amount of data involved.

A triangular icon in the column header indicates the type of sorting:

• An upright triangle indicates ascending order.
• An inverted triangle indicates descending order.

Sort by multiple columns

You can sort employees based on multiple Details headers, such as Department and Name.

1. Click the Department column header to sort employee records by Department in ascending order.
2. While holding down the Shift key, click the Name column header.

PayGlobal sorts employee records by Department and within each Department by Name, both in ascending order.

Sort by groups

You can sort records based on their grouping (see Transaction View - Group Employees). When you group employees by Department, you can sort Departments in ascending or descending order. If you group employees by Department first and by Position second, you can sort both groups in ascending or descending order, and sort employees within those groups by any ungrouped Details header.

Save your layout

When you finish customising your layout, you must use File | Save Layout As to save your settings. Your most recently saved layout becomes the default layout, and you will see it whenever you access this window. If you do not Save Layout As, then your changes will be lost when you exit or apply another layout.
