Sorting amendments on the Amendment Manager Tab

You can sort the amendments shown on the Amendment Manager tab by the values in any of the columns.

You can also sort amendments according to the marshalled order (taking account of any order of consideration if there is one).

Sorting by a column heading

The table on the Amendment Manager tab shows the following information about each amendments recorded against the selected bill version:

• Number

• DNum

• Location

• Sort code

• Proposer

• Last updated

• Preview and Comment

• Status

Click once on any of the headings in the table to sort the amendments in ascending order of the values in that column. Click again to change the sort to descending order.

In the screenshot below, the amendments have been sorted by Last updated date/time, in descending order. This means the amendments which were most recently edited will appear at the top of the table:

Sorting by marshalled order

Click the ‘Sort by marshalled order’ button in the top-right of the page to sort the amendments according to the same logic which determines the order they will appear in a Marshalled List.

The sorting takes into account the target location of the amendments, the user-assigned Sort code, and any Order of Consideration assigned for that bill version. (See Creating an Order of Consideration for information on how to define the Order of Consideration as a parliamentary user.)

To revert to sorting by the values in a specific column, click a column heading.

Amendments which insert new clauses or new schedules are marshalled slightly differently at Committee and Report stage in the House of Commons. The ‘Sort by Marshalled Order’ button uses the Committee Stage sorting logic.
