Sorting and ordering

Some pages in Explore Logs can display a large number of graphs. You may want to sort the graphs differently, depending on what you’re looking for. These pages let you modify the default sort oder using the Sort by menu in the top right toolbar.

You can use the Asc/Desc menu to change the direction of the sort.

By default the graphs are sorted by Most relevant where we prioritise graphs with more volatile data. For example, the graphs with the most spikes or dips will be shown first.
