Try using the calculator to create a X-Normal variable, then sort the 
spreadsheet on that?  Also, you should be able to threashold on the X-Normal 
variable, then everything that shows in the spreadsheet (which you can sort) 
would show what you want?

Subject: [EXTERNAL] [Paraview] querying or sorting Normal numerical values 
(from filter Generate Surface Normals)

Hello,

I am using the filter "Generate Surface Normals".  I am viewing the Normals on 
the mesh in both 3D and spreadsheet format.   I would like to sort and select 
the values in the Normals column (which are actually 3 values separated by a 
space delimiter, X Normal, Y Normal and Z Normal).  For example,  I would like 
to select the X Normals with X > 0.95 but it appears impossible to do this 
(either with the 'Find Data' tool or manipulating the spreadsheet).  Does 
anyone have any idea about how to accomplish this?

It appears the filter is not making these Normal numerical values accessible 
for querying or sorting.

thanks,
Jack
