A new and very useful feature has been introduced on our newest version of our Online Library. When viewing search results for part or vendor queries, some columns have been enabled for sorting. Each table can be sorted independently from each other and there is no reloading of the page or re-querying. Columns that are enabled for sorting will show double arrows next to the column title and will change to an arrow showing ascending or descending when clicked. See screenshot below:
