-* '''Operation'''<br/>This option groups the report entries in each table geographically (NW-SE) by the operation name (Fig. 4). This option is useful for smaller reports (e.g., nearest neighbours) as the mountain range is less important and it saves space by eliminating the operation column in the table.
+* '''Operation'''<br/>This option groups the report entries in each table in pseudo geographic order that sorts the operation according to the three main InfoEx regions (1. Alaska, NW Region and Coast Mtns; 2. Columbia and Rocky Mtns; 3. Eastern Canada) and roughly sorts them from NW to SE (Fig. 4). This option is useful for smaller reports (e.g., nearest neighbours) as the mountain range is less important and it saves space by eliminating the operation column in the table.
 * '''Date'''<br/>This option groups the report entries in each table by date. This option is useful for reports spanning multiple days.

-* '''Range''' (default)<br/>This option groups the report entries in each table by the mountain range of the location (Fig. 3). The mountain ranges are ordered in a NW to SE direction modeled after the legacy InfoEx report. Different from the legacy InfoEx reports, observations that fall into multiple mountain ranges are not shown in multiple mountain range groups, but a new group for the particular combination of mountain ranges. This prevents the duplication of observations in the report.
