Although sorting can be executed on either single or multiple fields to tailor the planning according to the user\u2019s preferences. This can be done in ascending (A-Z, 0-9) or descending (Z-A, 9-0) order.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>As For Example:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you have a table of employee data, then you can easily sort it based on the &#8220;<strong>Last Name<\/strong>&#8221; column in ascending order, so the names are alphabetically organized.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Whereas, <strong>Filtering<\/strong> the data allows you to select and hide unimportant data &amp; focus only on the important data or in which you are interested. In simple words, it refers to the selection &amp; display of a subset of records from the table that meet exact conditions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>As For Example:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In the same employee data table, you can apply the filter to display only employees from &#8220;<strong>Sales<\/strong>&#8221; department. This hides all other records temporarily.<\/p>\n<p><a name=\"p2\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>What is the Difference Between Sorting and Filtering in MS Access?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Let\u2019s check out some of the differences between the sorting and filtering features:<\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"200\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Key Differences<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\n<td width=\"200\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Sorting<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\n<td width=\"200\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Filtering<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"200\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"200\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"200\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"200\"><strong>Effect on Data:<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"200\">It rearranges all the records based on specified criteria without deleting any record.<\/td>\n<td width=\"200\">It selectively displays a subset of records that meet specific conditions while temporarily hiding others.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"200\"><strong>Visibility:<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"200\">Sorting rearranges the order of all the records in a table but doesn\u2019t hide any data.<\/td>\n<td width=\"200\">Filtering selectively shows only the records that meet certain criteria, hiding the others.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"200\"><strong>Persistence:<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"200\">This process is persistent &amp; changes the default order until it is altered again.<\/td>\n<td width=\"200\">This process is temporary, it is applied as long as the filter criteria are in place.
