<p>Any group of selected sequences may be reordered by pressing the
up or down arrow keys. The whole alignment may also be reordered by

<p>The leaf ordering of a particular phylogenetic tree is used to
order the sequences corresponding to those leaves in the
alignment.<br>

+<li><p><strong>Sort by Score</strong></p>
+<p>This menu appears if the alignment contains any <a href="../features/annotationsFormat.html">sequence associated
+alignment annotation</a> with associated score values. Each entry is the
+label for a distinct group of sequence associated annotation
+scores which can be used for sorting.</p>
</ul>
+<p><strong>Reversing the Order</strong></p>
+<p>Selecting any item from the Sort menu will sort sequences in an
+ascending order according to the property defining the sort. If the
+same sort is re-applied, the sequences will be sorted in the inverse
+order. In the case of trees and alignment orderings, Jalview will
+remember your last choice for sorting the alignment and only apply the
+inverse ordering if you select the same tree or alignment ordering
+item again.</p>
