Sorting

By default, the entries in the table are sorted by the revision number in descending order. You can determine to sort by another column by clicking in its header. Clicking again reverses the sorting order. The column by which values the table is ordered is indicated by an arrow pointing down for descending order and pointing up for ascending order.

The Author, the Event and the Comment columns are sorted alphabetically.
