This property determines whether variables in the table are sorted in ascending or descending order.Īn example in the following figure shows the setting in which all values were sorted in ascending order. If you click on it, one property will show in the Properties Panel - Desc. If you want to sort the table columns independently from each other, click on the Arrange All button in the ribbon toolbar tab Variables.Īfter clicking, the Arrange_All function appears in the sidebar. An example of the Arrange_All function is shown on the image below.įor deeper description of the function, we use the following table, which contains two categorical ( Cat_1 and Cat_2) and three numeric variables ( x, y and z). An example may be chemical analysis - we can get Top N highest values for individual measured components. Such sorting is useful if you want to get a better insight into the variability of values for individual variables (columns) or if you want to analyze extremes. Basically, we obtain a list of individually sorted variables instead of the original table.

We break the structure of the table with this action. In some cases, when analyzing data, it is useful to display table data sorted in ascending or descending order, where this sorting process is applied to all columns at once (independently).
