Working with Column Headers

Move your mouse over the right side of the column header you want to resize until the pointer becomes a. Then click and drag the column header border to the left or right. All other Column Headers keep their current size; if you widen a column header such that other Column Headers move beyond the view pane’s right border, a scroll bar is added to the pane.

• The Montage Monitor, Option Montage Monitor, and Option Series Monitor have a Properties setting that automatically fixes the size of its Column Headers. You must clear the Auto Resize Column checkbox (found under the Display category of the Montage Monitor Properties dialog box’s Settings tab and under the General category for the Option Montage Monitor and Option Series Monitor) in order to resize the columns.
  
  The Montage Monitor’s Level 2 Quote bar does not have Column Headers by default. You can add them by selecting [Column] on the Properties dialog box’s Grid tab. Regardless, you can still resize the columns themselves.

To remove an individual column header, move your mouse over the right side of the column header you want to remove until the pointer becomes a. Then click and drag the column header border to the left until the column header disappears. Once you release your mouse button, the column header is removed and can only be re-added through the Fields tab of the Properties dialog box; see the Fields Tab topic for more information.

Column headers can be removed as a whole through the Grid tab of the Properties dialog box; see the Grid Tab topic for more information.

Click the column header you want to move. Then click and drag it along the row of Column Headers and drop it in its new position.

• You cannot reorder the column headers directly on the Montage Monitor, Option Montage Monitor, or Option Series Monitor. However, you can do this through the Fields tab of the Properties dialog box; see the Fields Tab topic for more information.

You can sort data in a view pane on the fly by double-clicking the column header by which you want to sort. REDIPlus applies an ascending sort by default. Double-click the same column header again to apply a descending sort . If you want to establish a more sophisticated sorting scheme, use the Sorting tab to specify up to four layers of sorting criteria; see the Sorting Tab topic for more information.

The Position Monitor enables you to group position data by Symbol, Account, Sector, and Industry, or based on User Defined groups and then Symbol and Account for contrast/comparison purposes. When grouped, data is displayed hierarchically; parent data rows (which reflect the primary grouping option selected) can be expanded to show child (subordinate) data, and sorting can be applied to the data at both levels:

• Double-click a column header to sort the parent data rows. The parent-level sort is indicated by a white triangle , and can be applied as an ascending or descending sort (as specified above).

• Press [Shift] and double-click to sort all data rows, both parent and subordinate child data rows. The parent/child-level sort is indicated by the standard black triangle , and can be applied as an ascending or descending sort (as specified above). [Shift] must always be pressed when changing the parent/child-level sort, or the resulting sort will be applied to the parent data rows only.
