Sort Grid Screens Using Column Headings
Customize your workspace by sorting grid data. Click any column heading to toggle between ascending and descending order.
π‘ Why Use This
Sorting lets you quickly group and find records without running a report. Sort by date to see the most recent activity, by status to group policies together, or by carrier to verify imports β all with a single click.
πΊοΈ How to Access
Sorting works on any grid in Commission Tracker β for example the policy grid on the Policy List screen, the lists of agents, clients, and carriers, and Payment History. There is nothing to open; click a column heading on the grid you are looking at.
How to Use
- Sort β Click any column heading (e.g., Client Name, Date, or Amount) to sort by that column.
- Direction β A grey arrow indicates whether the sort is ascending or descending. Click the heading again to reverse the direction.
- Date Sorting β Use this to quickly see the most recent payments or upcoming renewals.

Tips for Getting the Most Out of Sorting
- Sort by Status β Groups all Active or Terminated policies together instantly.
- Sort by Carrier in Payment History β Quickly verify that all payments for a specific carrier were imported correctly.
π§ Troubleshooting
Clicking a column heading does nothing. Make sure you click the heading at the top of the column, not a cell in the grid.
The list is sorted the opposite way from what I want. Click the same column heading again to reverse the direction. The grey arrow on the heading shows which way it is sorted.
