HELP: SORTING RECORDS
DEFAULT SORT ORDERS
On load, records are sorted according to the following parameters:
- Language name (alphabetical, ascending)
- Syntactic relation (alphabetical ascending)
Within each syntactic relation, examples do not follow any further ordering by default. However bespoke sort orders for any filtered set of results can be made with up to three parameters using the dropdown menus.
BESPOKE SORT ORDERS
The sort order options mirror the filtering options for the database. Note, however, it is not possible to sort the records by agreement features.
