Summary:

To sort by multiple levels (fields) in Microsoft File, do the following:


 * 1) From the Organize menu, choose Sort.
 * 2) If a previous sort criteria exists, reset by it clicking the Clear button.
 * 3) Click in the small box to the left of the field chosen as the primary (first level) sort. A number 1 will appear in the box. Click in the small boxes to the left of other fields to select lower-level sorts (less important).

To change a number (sort level), click it and type the new desired number.

To remove a number, click it and press the DELETE key.

To reverse the direction in which a particular field sorts, click the field itself; this will toggle &quot;A -> Z&quot; to &quot;Z -> A&quot;, and &quot;1 -> 9&quot; to &quot;9 -> 1&quot;.
