    1. Click on a column heading to sort by that column
    2. Click on a column heading a second time to reverse sort by that column
    3. An up or down arrow next to a column heading will indicate that the list is sorted by that column, a down arrow indicates an ascending sort and an up arrow indicates a descending sort

  6. Click on the subject's Reference ID
