If you entered information in more than one field on a selection entry panel, the list contains only the volumes meeting all of the specified parameters.

You can sort and tailor a list to your needs with the View and Sort options on the selection panel. You can also tailor a list after you create it. See Using the Data Set or Volume List for more details.
