How can I sort the list of records in my catalogue?
You can adjust the presentation of your item records or search results in various ways, according to the needs of your activity.
After clicking Catalogue > Items from your Dashboard, you will arrive at the list of your organisation's catalogued Item records. Click on the Sort button 
and select 'Add sort field' to add the field on which you want to sort your records.
Fields that are available to sort by include:
- Identifier
- Item type
- Item name
- When record created
- When record modified
- Condition
- Current location
- Data Health score
- Web health score
Then switch the arrow toggle to sort your records in descending or ascending order.
If you are conducting a location audit, it is most helpful to sort your items by Location for easy reference. If you want to find out the next registration number to use, you may sort by Identifier (descending).
TIP: You can sort your records in both List view and Table view. Using Table is recmomended when sorting so that you can include the relevant sort field as a column for easy review of your sort results.
