# Sort and reorder

EDITable provides standard sorting options to sort the records: ascending/descending as well as A -> Z / Z -> A for numeric and non-numeric columns such as date, numbers, dropdown, text, and more.&#x20;

## 1. Sort records <a href="#id-1.-sorting" id="id-1.-sorting"></a>

1. Hover over the column header you want to sort, then click on the three-dot menu.

2. Select **Sort.** Then, choose **Sort Desc** or **Sort Asc** to sort the records in descending or ascending order respectively. Let's now sort the 'Salary' column in descending order.

3. A downward arrow in the image below indicates that the 'Salary' column is sorted in the descending order.

4. To remove the sort, click on **Remove Sort** as shown. Alternatively, you can click on the sort icon in the column header to remove the sort.

5. Similarly, sorting can also be applied to non-numeric columns. The image below shows the 'Last Name' column sorted in ascending order.

## 2. Reorder columns

You can reorder columns by dragging and dropping the headers to arrange them the way you want.
