Finding specific information. Suppose you want to find those records where monthly sales have exceeded $15,000 per month and show them with the most sales first and least sales last. After choosing the “Find What?” command, you can click the “Monthly Sales” field and define the criteria (first photo) for selecting records. Then choose the “What Order & Format?” command and click the field (or fields) to be sorted and the descending sort sequence (second photo). Finally, execute the “Find and Show in Order” command (third photo) and view the list of retailers with sales in excess of $15,000 per month (fourth photo).

LisaList remembers previous instructions, so you can alter either the comparison information or the sorting instructions independent of one another.
