# Sorting Columns

Click on a header to sort the rows in an **ascending** order. Click again for a **descending** order, a further click will bring you back to the **original sorting order**. You can also select a **secondary sorting column**, just hold the **Shift** key while clicking the second column header. For example, your first sorting is on “Product Category” and the second sorting is on “Customer Segment”. When using multiple columns for sorting, you will see a small integer appear in the column header to indicate the first, second, third etc. columns you sorted the data on.
