Sorting FlexTables by Network Order

To sort rows by their relative distance downstream, right-click a column heading, and select one of the following options:

  • Sort Upstream > Downstream

    Will arrange the rows in the Flextable based on how far they are from the downstream most drainage point in their network. The upstream-most elements will appear in rows before those elements which are connected downstream.

  • Sort Downstream > Upstream

    Will arrange the rows in the Flextable based on how far they are from the downstream most drainage point in their network. The downstream-most network elements will appear before those that are connected downstream. The outcome will essentially the opposite of an Upstream->Downstream ordering.

  • Sort Dendritic (Upstream > Downstream)

    Will arrange the rows in the Flextable not only by their upstream to downstream connectivity but also grouped by branch. Links of a dendritic stormwater network can be well-labeled with the Branch Labeling tool, resulting in a clear designation of links organized into tributary branches. After this sort, the first rows appearing will the elements within the upstream most branch. And appearing in upstream to downstream order within that branch.
