Sort Order

Sort Order

FullCount users have the option to manually organize items, menus, modifiers, and other listed options using Sort Order. Organizing options in the Back Office will make using the FullCount Touchscreen faster and more efficient. This article covers the following topics:

Sort Numerically

When adding options to a list in the FullCount Back Office, each new option will be automatically assigned a number in the order that it was added. These numeric values can be manually changed at any time to organize options on the Touchscreen. While multiple options can have the same Sort Order value, using separate numbers for each one offers the most precise control over a list.
 

 


 

 

Sort Alphabetically

List options with the same numeric value will be sorted together alphabetically. Since options are assigned unique numbers when added to a list, each option must be manually given the same value to sort the list alphabetically. Sorting a list alphabetically offers Touchscreen users a simple way to easily locate options.
 

 


 

 

Sort Using Both Functions

Combining numerical and alphabetical sort orders offers an additional way to organize lists. When a list contains multiple, separate groups of options that share the same numerical value, the groups themselves will be organized numerically, but the options within each group will be organized alphabetically.

In the images below, items with the same item type share a value, but each type (soup, salad, entrée, side, and dessert) has its own unique number.

*NOTE: Leaving gaps between numerical values allow options to be added later without re-numbering the list.
 

 


 

Sort order is utilized in many places throughout FullCount. In all cases, sort order uses the two functions described above; options are arranged first numerically, then alphabetically
