Sorting Options

Topic updated 17-10-2007

The Sorting Options tab allows you to configure sorting behaviour of individual properties (database fields).

 
It is only available when the Property Template is included inside a template that handles multiple rows/objects (such as the Browse Template )

 

Turning Sorting OFF (for one specific property Template).
Using a Custom Sorting Expression
For Date Sorting please read : Sorting on Dates.
Sorting your Custom (virtual) Property ? Please read Sorting Custom Properties

 

Support for nested objects

It's important to understand that when creating Property Templates which belong to parent objects (lookups) the sorting expression will contain the object path to the property to be use for sorting.

Please notice that in the example below we are showing a Browse for Order Details but we are showing 1 column (Company Name) that actually belongs to the Customer Object from the Order.

Order_Details --> Order --> Customer --> Name
