You can change the order in which results items are listed on the results list by selecting an option from the Sort by pull-down list found at the top of the results list on the right-hand side. Once you have chosen a different sort option, the screen will refresh and show your new sort preference. Only the results in the tab that is currently open will be sorted. Your results in other tabs will not be affected.
| Note: Some sort options may not be available on all tabs. |
| Sort option | Arranges list... |
|---|---|
| Document Title | alphabetically by document title |
| Publication Date (Ascending) | chronologically by publication date with oldest documents displayed first |
| Publication Date (Descending) | in reverse chronological order by publication date with most recent documents displayed first |
| Relevance | by how closely documents match your search query |
The sort by relevance is the default option for Basic Search. The relevance sort is not available if you used wildcards in your search.
