h3. Sorting the List
You can sort the Protected Machines list on the basis of column content in ascending or descending order. You might want to put a list of the protected machine descriptions in alphabetical order. Sorting data helps you quickly visualize and understand your replication data better, organize and find the machines that you want, and ultimately make more effective decisions.
You can sort text data (A to Z or Z to A) and numbers (smallest to largest or largest to smallest).
The sort criteria are saved in the system so that sorting is reapplied each time you access the Protected Machines list.
To sort a column in ascending order (A to Z or smallest to largest), simply click the column header. An arrow pointing up signifies that you are viewing the column in ascending order.
