If you want to achieve some sort order, then you have to implement it by architecting the table that way. For example, you can add updated date and time and then sort by those fields.</P><P></P><P>If you have some other sorting logic, then you may add a new column to the table and insert a sort number in it.</P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 27 Jul 2009 13:57:38 GMT https://community.sap.com/t5/application-development-and-automation-discussions/switch-off-automatic-sorting-in-a-table/m-p/5892413#M1326610 Former Member 2009-07-27T13:57:38Z
