To filter is to apply some criteria so only some records are shown. For example, from a list of people you may apply a filter so that it lists only the males.

To sort means to list them in order, such as alphabetical order, or date order or numerical order. This is often done with records to make it easier to find things. Phone books are in sorted by name to make it easier to find the number you want.

To update means to change records by adjusting the data in some way. You might be entering the results of exams that students have taken, or giving everyone an increase in their wages for example. These are all updates.

What determines a table sort order in access?

In Microsoft Access, table sort order is determined by the settings applied to the fields in the table. You can specify the sort order (ascending or descending) in the query design view or in a datasheet view by clicking on the field header. Additionally, you can create custom sorting by using multiple fields, allowing for a prioritized sort based on your requirements. If no sort order is specified, records will be displayed in the order they were entered.


What is the main difference between sorting and filtering data?

When you sort data, it is still all there, it is just divided into sections... for instance, if it were a list of names, then you might have it sorted alphabetically, so the As would be first and the Zs last. When you filter data, you apply a filter so that you can only see part of the data. So, in the same example of a list of names, you might filter out all the girl names and only see the boy names. Filtering and sorting can also work together. In a list of names you might filter to only see names that begin with the letter Z, but you could also sort that particular group so that it was alphabetical... Zack before Zenna, for instance.

Is sort command is a filter in unix?

The answer depends on what you consider a 'filter' program. If you consider a filter program to actually limit (or filter out) certain parts of a file then the sort program would not be considered a filter program, but more of a utility program. If you consider a filter program to be a program that changes the output in some way but gives the same amount of lines of output that are input then you could consider the sort program a filter. Most people would probably say that the sort utility program is not a filter, but it can be up to some interpretation.
