Abstract
A navigation approach having a data filtering and sorting for a user interface with a small screen display. The user interface may be used with a building control system. The sorting may be accomplished with a single button filter/sort key which when clicked opens up a floating window containing various sorting options. The single button takes little screen real estate but provides a user the flexibility to arrange data in such a way that results in high speed of access and productivity.
