Overview
Insights gives you control over both the order fields appear in a report and how the data within those fields is sorted. These two things are distinct: reordering changes which column appears where, while sorting changes the order of rows based on a field's values.
Reordering Fields
To change the position of a field in the report, use the drag handle (the six-dot icon) to the left of the field name in the side configuration panel. Click and drag the field to the desired position in the list.
The order fields appear in the panel determines the column order in the report's data grid.
Sorting a Field
There are two ways to sort a report by a field's values. They behave differently in terms of persistence.

In the Fields tab, each field has a double-arrow icon to the right of the field name (between the calculator icon and the trash can icon). Click it to toggle ascending, descending, or unsorted. |
