# Verify Table Sort

This is a pre-built action in Avo Assure. This action checks whether the data in a grid is correctly sorted in ascending or descending order based on a selected column, and saves the result in dynamic variable. 

### Syntax

**Input Value:** `<Column Header Value>;<Sort Order>`

<table><thead><tr><th>Argument</th><th>Description</th><th data-hidden></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Column Header value<br>(Required)</td><td>Column name from the grid to verified</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Sort Order<br>(Required)</td><td>ascending or descending order for sorting</td><td></td></tr></tbody></table>

**Output Value:**&#x20;

<table><thead><tr><th>Argument</th><th>Description</th><th data-hidden></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>&#x3C;Dynamic Variable>(Optional);&#x3C;Dynamic Variable>(Optional)</td><td>This variable holds the results in <strong>True</strong> and <strong>False</strong></td><td></td></tr></tbody></table>

**Example**&#x20;

**Verify if a specific column in the table is sorted in descending order**\
\
The **Verify Table Sort** action takes the value from the Input Value column (e.g., **Instrument;descending**) and checks whether the specified column (Instrument) is sorted in descending order. The result is stored in the **{IsSorted}** variable with the following possible values:

* &#x20;**Ture** – if the column is sorted in descending order
* **False** – if the column is not sorted or an error occurs
