Users can be sorted by name or their e-mail address by clicking on the corresponding table heading in the overview. The active sorting parameter is highlighted with an arrow icon.
If you click on the Roles parameter in the table heading, you can sort users by their roles or respectively by their status, if you click on the Status parameter. By clicking the colored circle icon in the Status column, you toggle the status from enabled to disabled. The colors represent the user status as follows.
