Working with Tags

Publication 2706-817

Tags may be sorted on any field or any number of fields in a
user-selected order. When tags are rearranged in the table so that
similar tags are together, they may be edited more easily.

1. Choose Sort from the View menu to open the Sort dialog.

2. Specify which field(s) to sort by:

Double-click on a field name in the Column box to add it to the
Sort Order box.

Or highlight a field and then select Add.

The Tag Editor moves the field name to the Sort Order box on
the right. You can specify any number of fields in your sort. The
default (no fields in the Sort Order box) is: Sort by Tag Name.

3. When all fields for this sort are entered, select OK.

The Tag Editor sorts the tags and displays them in the Table View.

The fields are sorted in the order in which they are added to the Sort
Order
box. To change the order:

1. Highlight a field or fields in the Sort Order box.

2. Select Remove to delete them.

3. Highlight a field or fields in the Column box.

4. Select Add to append them at the end of the list in the Sort Order

box.

Or select Cancel and start over.
