I want to contact select translation agencies based in a specific country. I thought I would sort the Blue Board list of agencies first by country, then alphabetically. However, I seem unable to do that. I can only sort either by country or alphabetically, but not 'alphabetically for a country'. Is the behaviour above expected? It is hard for me to believe that only a single search criterion can be applied at a time and that linking criteria for a single search is not supported on the Blue Board. Perhaps I am doing something wrong? Your input will be much appreciated. ▲ Collapse | | | Samuel Murray Netherlands Local time: 17:39 Member (2006) English to Afrikaans + ...
Here is a small workaround: Visit the page that includes the record creation date here and then include the year in the filter. (You can't filter by year in the default Blue Board view, but you can filter by date in this view.) So, a filter for "united states 2022" will show all entries in the United States that were added in 2022. Then click on e.g. the "Record creation dat...

On top of the list you may see some random names, but below names are sorted alphabetically, starting with those that begin with a number. | | | Maciek Drobka Poland Local time: 17:39 Member (2006) English to Polish + ... TOPIC STARTER

Originally, I had completely overlooked the filter field... Following your advice, I used the record creation date mode, typed 'United States' in the filter field, and then clicked the Blue Board record column. That listed all translation agencies in the United States, sorted alphabetically. Thanks again. | |

Thank you, this is even more straightforward. Like I said in my reply to Samuel, I had originally overlooked the search/filter field.
