# Sort Any table can be sorted by selecting a column in the *Sort On* field. Multiple sort selections may be applied. Any sort selection must be paired with an `Ascending` or `Descending` selection. The behavior of the selection is contingent on the column's data type. `Ascending` applies to: * **Numeric fields**: smallest to largest * **Text**: A to Z * **Date**: oldest to newest * **Duration**: shortest to longest --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
