Sorting Materials

You can change the order of the materials listed in the Select Definition dialog box or the Edit Libraries dialog box. You can sort the list of materials by name, library location, or material property value.

To change the order of the listed materials:

Click the column heading by which you want to order the materials.

If the arrow in the column heading points up, the material data are listed in ascending order (1 to 9, A to Z) based on the values in the column you chose. If you want the material data to be listed in descending order (9 to 1, Z to A), click the column heading again. The arrow then points down.

Note: By default, not all of the available properties are displayed in the materials table. Only the properties commonly used by the product are displayed. To view the complete table of properties, see Filtering Materials.

The Material Filters tab of the Edit Libraries dialog box allows you to specify the default for whether to filter for This Product or All Products.
