Before any sorting, we list the specimens numerically by Leisman number, then by type of specimen in this order: coal balls, coal ball peels, microscope slides, cones, sporangium, and spores. The columns are sort-able by clicking on the heading. The first click to a heading sorts them alphabetically (A to Z)/numerically (1-25). The second click to heading sorts them reverse alphabetically (Z to A)/numerically (25-1). The third click to heading brings back to original sort order.
