About the List View
The List or grid is the most common kind of multiple-record view, but there are other kinds of views as well. For example: Tree, Thumbnail, and Calendar displays. (Learn more: Views.)
In a List View, records are displayed in a grid, like a spreadsheet. At the top of the view, under the action buttons, a view control bar gives you many ways to control your view of the data:
Sorting a List View
List Views can be sorted by clicking on a column heading. You can then choose between an Ascending and Descending sort.
Viewing and Editing Records
List Views contain these icons:
(folder icon) View the record shown in this row 
(pencil icon) Edit the record shown in this row
Inline Editing
Inline Editing of Rows in a List View
Customizing a List View
You can choose the columns that are displayed in the list, and the order in which they appear. You can make different views that are available to users in different roles.
