The table lists the personnel by name in alphabetical order by default, but each column can be sorted by clicking on the column header to suit the users’ requirements. The table shows 25 entries by default, but this can be expanded up to 100. The search box can also be used to find any item required.
The details are given for each honour awarded, so an individual will be listed multiple times if they have received more than one award.
A list of the abbreviations used in the table can be found below.
