Sorting The Parameter Table; Transferring Parameter Data To Other Editors - Siemens SIMATIC S7-1200 Function Manual

3.10.5.3

Sorting the parameter table

The values of the parameters are arranged in rows. The parameter table can be sorted by
any displayed column.
● In columns containing numerical values, sorting is based on the magnitude of the
numerical value.
● In text columns, sorting is alphabetical.
Sorting by column
1. Position the cursor in the header cell of the desired column.
The background of this cell turns blue.
2. Click the column header.
Result
The entire parameter table is sorted by the selected column. A triangle with tip facing up
appears in the column header.
Clicking the column header again changes the sorting as follows:
● Symbol "▲": Parameter table is sorted in ascending order.
● Symbol "▼": Parameter table is sorted in descending order.
● No symbol: The sorting is removed again. The parameter table assumes the default
display.
The "../" prefix in the "Name in DB" column is ignored when sorting.
