The following operations can be carried out in the Results tab, via the context menu that pops up when you right-click in the appropriate location in the Results tab:

 

Sorting on a column: Right-click anywhere in the column on which the records are to be sorted, then select Sorting | Ascending/Descending/Restore Default.

Copying to the clipboard: This consists of two steps: (i) selecting the data range; and (ii) copying the selection. Data can be selected in several ways: (i) by clicking a column header or row number to select the column or row, respectively; (ii) selecting individual cells (use the Shift and/or Ctrl keys to select multiple cells); (iii) right-clicking a cell, and selecting Selection | Row/Column/All. After making the selection, right-click, and select Copy Selected Cells. This copies the selection to the clipboard, from where it can be pasted into another application. To copy the header together with the cells, use the command Copy Selected Cells with Header.
