| From this image you can see that we have chosen to sort on two columns, and the sort type is indicated by the arrows (ascending or descending) and the order of the sort. |  |
This image does not include all possible columns - also, the columns have been narrowed to fit more columns into the image.

You can select all available metrics and they will be displayed in the Explore Table. This will increase the width of the table on the page which will then require you to scroll left and right to see the entire table, OR, you will need to change the page zoom to accommodate the increased width.
When you populate this table with a group of desired providers, you can then limit the metrics that are most important for comparing those providers.
Understanding the Metrics

| County, ZIP, City, State | Primary County, ZIP code, city, and State of the facility, as listed in the CMS Provider NPI file. |
| Facility Type |
The facility type describes the taxonomy code listed for this NPI in the CMS Provider NPI file.
|
| Claim Type |
The Claim type is determined by the setting from which the claim was submitted (INP, OUTP, SNF, HHA, HOS, and others)
