The default sort order for items in a data view of a 2007 custom Forms tool is the order in which items were added to the tool. You may be able to switch between ascending, descending, and ordinal sort order, on a per-column basis, depending on the sort options the custom tool designer assigned to each view column. Click column headers to test their sorting capabilities.

1. A column set with an ordinal sort.

2. A column set with an ascending sort.

3. A column set with an descending sort.
