Tables utilize sort sets to specify the sequence in which objects are displayed. There is no requirement that a sort set be given for a table. If omitted, then all of the items are simply listed in case-independent, alphabetical order.
One sort set is used to dictate the order in which the table contents are shown. However, a separate sort set can also be specified for dynamic tables. Dynamic tables provide the ability to select items to add to the table, and the available items are presented in a list. So the second sort set controls the order in which the items are shown within the list of available items for selection.

Tables utilize sort sets to specify the sequence in which objects are displayed. There is no requirement that a sort set be given for a table. If omitted, then all of the items are simply listed in case-independent, alphabetical order.

One sort set is used to dictate the order in which the table contents are shown. However, a separate sort set can also be specified for dynamic tables. Dynamic tables provide the ability to select items to add to the table, and the available items are presented in a list. So the second sort set controls the order in which the items are shown within the list of available items for selection.
