In many contexts, the AccuRev GUI displays data in the form of a rows-and-columns table.
Example: File Browser's Details pane
The AccuRev GUI often presents information in the form of a table, with multiple rows and multiple columns. You can adjust all such tables, to maximize their usefulness, as described in the following sections.
In any table, you can adjust columns widths and change the column order as follows:
To resize the columns, click and drag the column separators.
Double-clicking the column separator to a column's right resizes the column to exactly fit its longest value.
To rearrange the columns, click and drag the column headers.
Initially, the rows of a table are sorted on one column (single-column mode). A direction icon in the header for that column indicates whether the sort is lowest-to-highest or highest-to-lowest [note ]. Left-click on any column header to continue in this mode:
Click on the current sort column to reverse the sort order.
Click on another column to make it the sort column.
You can switch at any time to multiple-columns mode, in which you define a primary sort column, a secondary sort column, and so on. Right-click any column header to switch sort modes.
A "1" appears next to the direction icon in the current sort column, indicating that this is now the primary sort column.
Click another column to make it the secondary sort column. A direction icon annotated with "2" appears in this column, and the rows are reordered according to the two-level sort. Continue in this way to define additional sort levels.
In multiple columns mode, you can:
Left-click on any column header without a direction icon: this defines an additional sort level, using that column.
Left-click on any column header that already has a direction icon: this reverses the sort order at that sort level.
Left-click on any sort column's level number (1, 2, etc.) to change the sort level of that column.
The table's rows are resorted automatically each time you perform any of these actions.
The keyboard's navigation keys -- up-arrow, down-arrow, PgUp, PgDn, Ctrl-PgUp, Ctrl-PgDn -- move a table's selection highlight in the expected way. In addition, you can navigate by typing any alphanumeric character; this moves the selection highlight to the next row whose entry in the (primary) sort column begins with that character.
