Filtering
- End of period (EOP) reports do not have alternate sort orders and may not have range filters available
- Filters are not available if more than one report is selected to print at the same time (EOP reports only)
- The options available in each filter vary based on the report
- When using a date range filter, enter it as the first line when using more than one range description
How IDs are sorted
- Cornerstone uses an alphanumeric sorting process, as a dictionary does, since IDs can be alphabetic, numeric, or alphanumeric
- Numbers are treated as letters when sorting a list
