Hi Yuma and Kawal,

You typically can't rearrange the order in which the displayed columns of information to 
be viewed will occur.  At least, even with the procedure of checking or unchecking View 
Option columns, re-ordering of at least the main columns with headings that are usually 
displayed doesn't seem to stick in any application.  The VO-Shift-Backslash is the 
VO-vertical line shortcut for sorting entries in a column in either ascending or 
descending order.  On an English language input keyboard the key for typing a vertical 
line is the shifted backslash key, and is at the right edge of the keyboard, above the 
return key and below the delete key.  VO-backslash expands folders (although on the 
commands menu reached by pressing VO-H twice, this is announced as "toggle 
disclosure triangle").  VO-Shift-Backslash (or VO-Vertical lIne) sorts the selected 
column of a table in either ascending or descending order (e.g., applying the command a 
second time on the same column reverses the sort order).

Kawal, did you remember to interact before trying to use VO-Shift-Backslash to 
reverse the sort order of the column in mail?  That's usually the problem if 
your sort didn't work.  Yuma, is there now a shortcut sequence for sorting on 
the French input language keyboard, or do you still need to use VO-H twice to 
select the sort command?  (And as an aside, the sort command will not show up 
as one of the menu options this way, if you did not interact first -- these 
options are context sensitive.) 

HTH.  Cheers,

Esther

Hi,

I got the same problem with my macbook pro at home, whereas even if i check and 
uncheck the column items to change order of lecture, it remains the same.

What is this vo shift \ thing supposed to do?


Merry xmas and a safe healthy binge :)
