Re-sorting Collocates ( or F6 or click the header)

Concord > re-sorting: collocates

The frequency-ordered collocation display can be re-sorted to reveal the frequencies sorted by their total frequencies overall (the default), by the left or right frequency total, or by any individual frequency position, from 25 words to the left of the search word to 25 words to the right. Just press the header of a column to sort it. Press again to toggle the sort between ascending to descending.

The point of it…

is to find patterns of collocation, so as to more fully understand the company your search-word keeps.

The choices depend on the collocation horizons.
