To sort Batch Stores

By default, batch stores will be sorted by store number. You can change how the Batch Stores list is sorted by clicking on any of the enabled field names (highlighted in blue) in the header row.

An initial click on a particular field name will cause the list to be sorted by that field, in descending order. Clicking on the same field name again will cause the list to be sorted by that field in ascending order.

The current sort field will be indicated by the field name cell being filled with a gray background. The current sort order will be indicated by a down arrow or an up arrow after the field name. A down arrow indicates descending order and an up arrow indicates ascending order.
