UserPostedImage the image shows another program that allow me to sort stocks according to price and volume and name and moves, etc by simply clicking on the column header if i have all the data for the stocks concerned, how do i do it in metastocks?

Like with all thing for MetaStock, start by reading the Users Manual. It comes shipped with all legitimate copies of MS. You need to create an exploration based on the data for all stocks. After reading the manual, at least twice, if you are still having trouble, please post your question again. wabbit :D

hey hanhao..... even after reading the manual it might be difficult achieve that level of spreadsheet in meta itself.... there is the small viewable size issue and then the 6 column limitation.... it might take a couple explorations exported to excel and then combined as one to duplicate your image..... sorting of exploration results is done by the standard 'click on header' or use the 'sort' tab to preset column hierarchy......h

Really, the User's Manual is the place to start. It is an understood prerequisite to posting on the forum anyway- see Forum Rules. There are many reasons for this, but basically it boils down to this: you have to be willing to work for the answer too. Read the FAQ and try searching the forum for key words such as 'sort' and 'format' and 'export'. In addition to the User's manual, the process of Explorations can be understood by viewing the training videos. There is also a program available called Finding the Right Trades that might be useful. If you get stuck in a certain part of the coding process, then list what you have and what you are trying to achieve. We can probably help you out better at that point.

hey hanhao..... perhaps my post was unclear.... nothing in it was meant to imply you should or should not read anything..... my point was that even after reading the manual it might be difficult achieve that level of spreadsheet in meta itself ...... h
