Note
A well-structured database makes manual sorting within the DataPilot
obsolete. In the example shown, you could add another column with the
name Department, that has the correct entry for each person based on
whether the employee’s department belongs to the group Office or
Technical. The mapping for this (1:n relationship) can be done easily with
the VLOOKUP function from Calc.
Sorting the result
The result of any DataPilot is sorted (categories) in columns and rows in an ascending
order. You can change the sorting in three ways:
• Select sort order from drop-down menus on each column heading.
• Sort manually by using drag and drop.
• Sort automatically by choosing the options in the preferences dialog of the row
or column field.
Select sort order from drop-down menus on each column heading
The simplest way to sort entries is to click the arrow on the right side of the heading
and check the box(es) for the desired sort order. The custom sorting dialog is shown
in Figure 220. Additional options exitst to show all, only the current item or to hide
only the current item.
