APPLIES TOMicrosoft Windows® SharePoint® Services technology This tutorial teaches you how to view information in lists based on Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services. It is the second of a two-part tutorial. In the first part ,Working with SharePoint lists, Part 1 , you learned the basic steps of creating a list, adding columns, and adding new lis t items. You should complete Part 1 before you take this tutorial. In this tutorial, you will continue to use the example of your team's visit to Trey Research to learn how to sort and filter list items so you can find and manage information more easily.

Go to the tasks list you created earlier (if you're not already there): On t he top lin k bar, click Documents and Lists. On the Documents and Lists page, click the name of the tasks list ( Trey Research Visit Tasks in this example). 2. Click the Assigned to column heading. NOTE If you want to reverse the sort order (ascending or descending), click the name of the column again. An arrow next to the column name indicates the direction of the sort. Filtering a list Filtering is a quick and easy way to find and work with a subset of entries in a list or library. A filtered list displays only the rows that meet the c riteria you specify for a column. Unlike sorting, filtering does not rearrange the items. Filtering hides rows you do not want to appear. In the following steps, you'll filter the tasks list so only the items related to travel plans appear. FILTER A LIST 1. Go to the tasks list you created earlier ( if you're not already there): On the top link bar, cl ick Documents and Lists.
