When I used Insert+B to read the Sort dialog box, I heard less information
than I can find using Tab.  Using the JAWS cursor to navigate the dialog box
yielded an interesting result.  It read everything that I can find with TAB,
but a lot of it was read together.  I could not find any info that tells me
what level I am on.  The only clue is whether you find an up and/or down
level button.

perchance use of the read dialog (insert b) command might work in the box to
give you more information? 

this is just a guess from reading your messages, I'm still using office
2003, although I have a fair collection of notes on 2007 and 2010, (and of
course will be adding 2013 notes as they start appearing)

someone try it and let me know if it works? please.

Hi Scott,

Unfortunately, I now have more questions about sorting levels in Office 2010
than answers.

I did find that after you add a level, a new button appears in the dialog
box between Copy level and Options.  The name of this button changes between
Move up and Move Down.  When it is labeled Move Down, JAWS announces
Control+Down arrow, and when the button is labeled move Up JAWS 
Control+announces Up Arrow.  If you have more than 2 levels, you will 
Control+find 2 buttons
between Copy Level and Options.  One is labeled Move Down and the other Move
Up.  The Control Arrow commands still correspond in the same way as
described above.  At this point I have not play around with Sort when there
are the 2 buttons.  So the rest of what I have to say relates to when there
is only one of these buttons.

It appears that you can use either Control+Arrows or Space to change this
button.  The problem comes in when you go and look at the values for the
sort.  It does not appear to change, and there is nothing that tells you
what level you are on and how many levels actually exist.  The next step
would be to do some investigating with the JAWS cursor, as well as get some
sighted assistance to get an understanding to what is displayed on the
screen.  

Maybe someone else will jump in and shed more light on this topic.

HTH,
Annette

Hi,

I recently upgraded to Office 2010 from Office 2003.  I have found that
sorting data in Excel, like many things, works differently in Office 2010.
In Excel 2003 and earlier, when sorting data, all of the sort fields are
right there together and you can tab and shift tab back and forth between
them.  In Excel 2010, you set the parameters for one sort level , you add a
level, and then set the parameters for that level .  When you add a level,
JAWS focus moves to the parameters for that level and, as far as I can tell,
you can't go back to the previous level to look at the parameters or change
them.  Is there a easy way to do this?

Thanks,

Scott Duck
