Sorting Search Results
TorontoMLS displays the listings found by your search in a simple one
line format.
- You can sort the list by any column; e.g., by
Type.
- You can also perform a multi-level sort, by up
to three columns; e.g., by Municipality; within Municipality by Community; within Community by List Price.
- You can sort in either Ascending (Increasing)
order
, or in Descending (Decreasing) order 
.
The objective of a multi-level sort is to group listings
logically. A good example of multi-level sorting is: first sort by Municipality, then by Community, then by List Price. In this case, your
search results are organized in a few large groups, the largest being Municipality. A poor
example of multi-level sorting is: first sort by List Price, then by Community,
then Municipality. Although List Price may be the highest priority to the
buyer, the organization of your search results list using price as the
first sort field, results in almost as many groups as there are listings.
