> #### 4.5.4 Sorting Rows in Ascending or Descending Order

> The list is initially displayed in ascending order of name. The figure is from the Work List, so Activity Name is used. The list can then be sorted by any column in ascending or descending order. Each column name will have arrow icons next to the column names. Clicking the up-arrow sorts the rows by column name in ascending order. Clicking the down-arrow sorts the rows in descending order. Clicking the arrow highlighted in the figure above will sort the activities in ascending order by activity name.

> Filtering activities displays only those activities, which satisfy a specified characteristic. To filter activities, select the Filter for the desired characteristic. These characteristics are related to the activity's state.

> Figure 24: Activity Filters with My Active Activities Selected

> The meanings of most of the filters are intuitively clear. However, keep in mind the following points:

> · The work item assigned to you is Active for all members of the Role until someone does something with it. While it is active, you cannot add user-defined process attributes (UDAs) or add or delete attachments. You can only change the value of the UDAs.
> · As soon as someone accepts it, the work item becomes accepted for one person and inactive for everyone else. When a user declines a work item, it becomes inactive for the user. This prevents two or more people from duplicating work that only needs to be done once. Accepting or declining a work item is optional. Accepting a work item moves it to the My Accepted Activities list. Declining a work item moves it to the My Declined Activities list. In either case, the Activity no longer appears on the My Active Activities list.
> · If everyone declines the work item, it is assigned to the process instance owners. If all process instance owners decline it, it is re-assigned to the process instance owners.
> · When someone completes a work item, all work items associated with that activity are deleted.
