<p>The present invention relates to a method and a device (2) for visualising a hierarchically sortable database (9A; 9B; 9C), in particularly in a vehicle (1). In the method as per the invention, the database (9A; 9B; 9C) is hierarchically sorted according to at least one sorting criterion and a partial quantity of the sorted database of one hierarchical level is displayed as a graphic list (15), the list entries of which are visualised as graphic objects (A - C; B3 - B5; B41 - B42). The partial quantity displayed of the list (15) is modified by a first operating process (G1) such that, as a result of the first operating process (G1), the list entries of the list (15) will align one after another within the selected hierarchy level, and the partial quantity displayed of the sorted database (9A; 9B; 9C) is modified as a result of a second operating process (G2), which differs from the first operating process (G1), such that the hierarchy level is switched and a partial quantity of the sorted database (9A; 9B; 9C) of the hierarchy level to which was switched is displayed as a graphic list (15), the graphic objects displayed (B3 - B5; B41 - B42) of a lower hierarchical level differing from the graphic object (B; B4) of the corresponding upper hierarchical level.</p> |
