Parameter Manager - Stop Auto Sorting

In a sort enabled column, the rows get re-arranged (auto sorted) as data is entered or edited. 

This can be annoying when you are editing data.  It can be difficult to track of which cell was last edited and which cells were adjacent to the last edited cell.

As shown below the Description column is sort enabled, in this mode rows will be sorted auto-magically when the Descriptions are edited.










Multi-level sorting is also supported, hold down the Shift key as you click to sub-sort by a second (or third) column.


The Auto Sorting behavior can be disabled by holding down the Ctrl Key and clicking on the Column heading, i.e. Description heading in this example.










Note the indented triangle is displayed in the header when Auto Sorting is enabled.
