Hello

I have an existing entity with 300 members that I woud like to custom sort (currently not sorted) . So I have enabled the custom sort options in entity options.

Then I have created a datareader with option "sort entity" and in the file txt file I have sorted the members as expected.

After running the datareader, members are not sorted at all ? (data reader has validated all records, no discarded members)

Any idea ?

regards

julien

    Do you have the entity description field mapped in the datareader setting? This seems necessary for the sorting datareader to work. Though I don't know why… looks like a update trigger

    And of course, you need to have entity data sitting inside the data model before sorting them.

  • Thx, that was it, it seems that we are forced to put the description in the datareader
