The List Window provides three different views onto the loaded data. Which view is shown is controlled by the three buttons at the bottom of the List Window. The first view is a traditional hierarchical view, described above, and seen in Figure 12.1. The second view is a flat view (see Figure 12.2(a)) in which the list hierarchy has been removed, but all the contents are shown in the same original order. The third view is a spreadsheet view (see Figure 12.2(b)) which shows only those objects that appear within the associated spreadsheet (as specified by the drop down box next to its button). Furthermore, the order of the objects in this view parallels the current sorting order in the application spreadsheet. For more details about the spreadsheet, please see Chapter 11.
