Using the Destinations Window:

You can sort destinations by clicking the column heading by which you want to sort the list. A caret appears next to the column heading to indicate that it is the primary sort column. If you click the column heading again, the sort is reversed and the direction of the caret changes. If you click another column heading, that column becomes the primary sort column. A text column is sorted alphabetically and a numeric column is sorted numerically.
