The person view cannot be sorted for performance reasons. You can export the view to a spreadsheet though, and sort there on the column with the timestamp. Note however that everytime an object is touched, the timestamp is updated, so it might not always be clear what has changed. Eg, adding an event to a person means something in the event tab changed, the timestamp of the person is updated. Benny |
