Sorting and grouping string lists

By default, the strings in a translation list are sorted according to their order in the source file and grouped by resource type.

This can be changed to any other sorting. Click View tab > Sorting > and select an option from the drop-down menu. You can also click a column heading with the mouse to sort the content of the list by the content of the chosen column in ascending or descending order. An arrow symbol next to the column heading shows the current sorting selection. You can restore the standard string list sorting order by clicking on the left-most, empty column heading field.

For a Grouped display of resources, select View tab > Sorting > Showing groups. This can be done even faster by right-clicking on the column title of a list. This allows you to sort strings, for example, by change date and display strings that were changed on a certain day in a group with "Created on..." in the heading.
