 * I have a list set up to use the column headers as sort filters and that seems
   to work just fine. But how do I get the list to initially display using a specific
   column to sort in a ascending order?
 * Many thanks,
    Houston

 * See the settings – “sort order” on far right

 * enter a ‘1’ for the field you want as primary sort and a 2 in secondary sort
