You can also change the ‘Items per page’ from the default of 10 to 20, 50, 100 or ‘All’ and this will change the number of items automatically displayed on the page.

Note: Please consider prior to selecting 'All' records that this can take a considerable amount of time to display thus usig filters to reduce the number is preferable.

In the example above if I press “Req No” for example, the data will be sorted in Ascending Requisition number order, if I press it again it will resort in Descending Requisition number.

Note: This applies to any column and will display an upwards or downwards arrow to indicate you have applied a sorting filter.

You can also group by any columns, simply drag the column to the orange bar where it says "Drag a column header and drop it here to group by that column".
