The Column Header of the active sort key is in CAPITALS and has 2 asterisks **. The sort key is changed by a click on the column header. There are also menu commands.

NOTE: In the Link Mode, the sorting plays no role, because only a few examinations of one patient are shown.

NAME **

After WHITE, ANDY comes WHITELAW, PETER and then WHITE, THOMAS
