About Views
ManageMore can let you customize lists and view only those columns you wish to see, and also let you sort the list in any order you wish. To view a list in a specialized manner, click on the Define Views button above the list or press <Alt + V>. You will be presented with the Define Views selection screen, showing the views defined for that list, as well as options to create or edit views (see Figure 2-9).

Sort Order
Select a Sort Order for the View
This step will give you three options to sort your list:
| Default Sort Order | Choose this to sort your custom view in the same order that the list originally came up in. |
| Select a Predefined Sort Order | Choose this to sort your custom view by one of it's internal indexes. |
| Define Your Own Custom Sort Order | Choose this to sort your custom view in any order you want. Should you choose this option, you would then click on the Define Sort Order button, and then choose up to four fields that ManageMore will sort this list by. |
 | When using Custom Sort Order, after invoking your view, an additional tab will appear at the bottom of the list, allowing you to select the custom order. You may experience a slight delay the first time the sort order is selected, while ManageMore creates the dynamic sort order necessary. This information is saved for faster use in the same session. |
Predefined Sort
Select the index by which the program should sort the list in this view. This will appear only when "Select a Predefined Sort Order" is chosen for the Sort Order above.
Define Sort Order
Click this button to define a custom sort order. This button will appear only if Custom Sort Order is chosen.
ManageMore allows you to customize the column layout without using the wizard, for quick, unsaved changes. You can do so by simply dragging and dropping the column to its desired location. You can also right mouse click on the column header(s) to hide/unhide particular columns.
Keep in mind that once you leave the list, any "On the Fly" views will be discarded.
| Q01. | I accidentally removed a column from my list. How do I get it back? |
| A01. | Simply right-click on any column header, and choose Unhide. You will see a list with the hidden fields. Select the appropriate column. |
| Q02. | How can I easily adjust the column width based on my data? |
