To sort nodes:

  1. On the View menu, click Sort By.

  2. Click a sort option  .

    Description

     

    Icon

    Sort the nodes according to their icon type. This is useful when working with lists of multiple item types such as sets or query results.

    Name

    Sort nodes alphabetically by name.

    Custom

    Sort nodes manually using the MoveUp and MoveDown arrow keys on the toolbar. This option is only available when you are working with tree nodes or cases.

    Sort by nodes that are linked to memos.

    Sources

    Sort by number of sources coded at the node.

    References

    Sort by the number of references (occurrences of coding) in the source.

    Sort nodes by their creation date.

    Modified

    Sort nodes by the date they were last modified.

     

Column Headings:

Click in the column headings of List View to sort nodes as required.

To sort child nodes only, make sure the child node column headers are displayed. Click the View menu and check Child Node Headers.

 

Applying a Custom Sort Order

You can apply your own ordering to tree nodes or cases:

  1. Click in List View.

  2. Click the Sort By Custom toolbar button:

The Move Up and Move Down buttons become active.

  1. Use these buttons to move selected nodes to the required position.

If you subsequently use another sort option, you can always return to your custom sort order by clicking the Sort by Custom button.
