Hi Eric,
Another possibility is to eliminate mention of what you're sorting at all as it
seems self-evident, ie, you can now sort by clicking the column title.

Subject: atw: Do you "sort a column" or "sort the data in a column" ?
Hi List,
I had another bout of the "confusion attack" this morning.
While highlighting the latest enhancements to our product in the release notes,
I was struck when it came to describing a new feature that allows users to
click the column title so that the information displayed in that column can be
(re)organized alphabetically, or numerically.
Do we say "you can now sort data by clicking the column title" or merely "you
now sort columns by clicking the column title" ?
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Eric
