You can save a sorting you have configured for a list as a sorting profile, and re-use it in the same procedure at a later date. Please note that profiles are saved per list type in the procedure. You can create your own or shared (common) profiles, as well as automatic profiles. Shared profiles can be loaded by all users. The automatic profiles are automatically loaded when a list is opened by the current user. Sorting profiles are saved and loaded using the alternatives under Edit | Sorting profile in the Window menu.

This is where you save the properties that you have configured for a list, and create a new sorting profile.

The window for saving sorting profiles.
The Save to field will indicate for which user the sorting profile will be saved. Users that are not administrators can only save profiles for their own user account. Administrators can choose users or groups to save profiles for.
In the Property profile area you can see previously saved profiles for that user or group, if any. You can change an existing profile by selecting it and clicking on the Edit... button. There you can view and change the code of the profile.
Under the Description heading you enter a description of the profile. This will then be displayed to the right of the profile, once it has been saved. You can change an existing profile description by selecting it and checking the Edit box.
Using the Add button, you can copy a selected profile to a new profile. The Delete button deletes the profile you have selected.
Under Access you can choose whether the profile should be Shared or not, as well as if it should be Automatic or not. The shared profiles can also be loaded by other users in this procedure. An automatic profile is loaded when the user starts the procedure in question.
Administer Properties - List
In Global Settings there is a procedure called Administer Properties where you in a structure map can see which users/groups that have saved sorting profiles. There you can also edit, delete and copy these profiles to other users/groups.
