What is meant by “Sort By”?
A10. “Sort By” enables the user to select the primary field for which the query results are displayed. The drop-down options are meant to be tools to enable the user to easily find an institution, but not as a means to gather summary data. For example, if you select “Sort by” Bank Name, A – Z, the result would be a list of all banks in your query in alphabetical order. Conversely, if you select “Sort by” Bank Name, Z – A, the result would be a list of all banks in your query listed in reverse alphabetical order. All of the drop-down options are intended as tools that enable the user to easily locate selected data for an institution, not as a means by which to obtain summary data regarding the CRA examinations of institutions currently or formerly supervised by the FDIC.
