Help me with some terminology....

You have a database-style program that displays information in columns and
rows.

You can sort by any column: Name, Date of Birth, Location, etc.

You can *also* save the sorting method, so you could save "Sort by Name" or
even multiple-columns ("Sort by name first, then date of birth").

What (short, UI-fitting) name do you call the sorting methods? The current
candidate is "saved sort," but I hate it because it sounds clumsy and
awkward, probably because it nouns a verb.

Audience: Medical people.

Thoughts?
