Sort Grouped Datasets

Once added, the datasets in a group can be arranged in ascending or descending order according to one of the following metadata attributes:

• Data Start Date

• Data End Date

• Creation Date

This ordering controls both the order of the datasets in the Layers window and their draw order in the Display window. It is common to draw the oldest data first, having the newest data displayed on top. To achieve this order, sort By End Date (ASC).
