This value set contains 8 concepts
| Code | System | Display | Definition | 
| user  | http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/list-order | Sorted by User | The list was sorted by a user. The criteria the user used are not specified. | 
| system  | http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/list-order | Sorted by System | The list was sorted by the system. The criteria the user used are not specified; define additional codes to specify a particular order (or use other defined codes). | 
| event-date  | http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/list-order | Sorted by Event Date | The list is sorted by the data of the event. This can be used when the list has items which are dates with past or future events. | 
| entry-date  | http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/list-order | Sorted by Item Date | The list is sorted by the date the item was added to the list. Note that the date added to the list is not explicit in the list itself. | 
| priority  | http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/list-order | Sorted by Priority | The list is sorted by priority. The exact method in which priority has been determined is not specified. | 
| alphabetic  | http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/list-order | Sorted Alphabetically | The list is sorted alphabetically by an unspecified property of the items in the list. | 
| category  | http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/list-order | Sorted by Category | The list is sorted categorically by an unspecified property of the items in the list. | 
| patient  | http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/list-order | Sorted by Patient | The list is sorted by patient, with items for each patient grouped together. |

Explanation of the columns that may appear on this page:
| Lvl | A few code lists that FHIR defines are hierarchical - each code is assigned a level. For value sets, levels are mostly used to organize codes for user convenience, but may follow code system hierarchy - see Code System for further information | 
| Source | The source of the definition of the code (when the value set draws in codes defined elsewhere) | 
| Code | The code (used as the code in the resource instance). If the code is in italics, this indicates that the code is not selectable ('Abstract') | 
| Display | The display (used in the display element of a Coding). If there is no display, implementers should not simply display the code, but map the concept into their application | 
| Definition | An explanation of the meaning of the concept | 
| Comments | Additional notes about how to use the code |
