# Columns Sorting & Moving

## What

FileWave Anywhere tables can be sorted by column, and the columns themselves can be moved into the order that works best for the task.

## When/Why

Use column sorting and moving when a table has the right data but the default order is not the most useful view. For example, sorting by **FileWave Client Version** can help you find older clients first, while moving that column closer to device name or status makes the table easier to scan.

## How

To sort a table, click the column header. The arrow on the column shows whether the sort is ascending or descending. To move a column, drag the column header to the position you want.
