Sorting in the Viewers

There are two ways of sorting and ranking the Viewers within VectorVest RealTime.

Sorting the Viewers:

1. Open the Stock, Industry, Sector, Market Index, ETF or WatchList Viewer.

2. Left-click the Sorting Button located on the Local Toolbar. The Sort Selection Window will appear.

3. Left-click the drop down arrow below Primary Sort. Sorts are listed in alphabetical order. Use the scroll bar to find the desired sort or use your keyboard to type the first letter of the sort you wish to choose.

4. Left-click on the desired Sort to select it.

5. Left-click the drop down arrow below Secondary Sort.

6. Left-click the desired secondary sort. The secondary sort will only be used as a 'tie-breaker' when the primary sort is the same for two or more securities.

7. Select Asc or Desc. This will sort the records in ascending (lowest to highest) or descending (highest to lowest) order.

8. Left-click "OK". This will resort all of the records using the selected sort. Click the "Cancel" button to exit without making any changes to the sort.

OR

1. Open the Stock, Industry Group, Business Sector or WatchList Viewer.

2. Left-click on the column heading of the parameter you would like to sort by. This will sort the records by the parameter you have chosen in descending order (highest to lowest).

The Viewer may also be sorted using a custom field.  Click here to learn more about Custom Field Builder.
