The Find Customers page is used to both define the conditions you want to search by, and for displaying the results of the search. (To see more about defining a search, see Find Customers - Search Definition.) By default, searches results are displayed sorted according to Customer name. If you have more results than will fit on a page, the search results can span multiple pages.
The following capture shows an example results for a sample search that returns all Customers stored in the database. This results of this search span two pages, as indicated by the page indicator and page navigation links below the results list.

Procedures
Sorting search results

An Ascending icon ( ) will appear next to the column, indicating that the column is being used to sort the results in ascending order.

Ascending ( ) or Descending ( ) icons will be displayed next to the column header to indicate sort order. Shift-clicking a column header will provide multi-column sort capabilities. Clicking a column header until the Ascending ( ) and Descending ( ) icons disappear will return the results to the original sort order.
