## Sequence Of Steps

The necessary steps for correctly using a **Sort Rule Set** are the following:

1. Create the necessary Sort Rules upfront - note that for creating custom rules, a Dynamic Execution Engine (DEE) rule is necessary. Note also that the application provides a set of pre-defined rules.
2. Create a Sort Rule Set.
