Smart Table: PresentationVariant annotation for default sort not working

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am using a smart table in my app. I want to set a default sort order on a column. UI5 Version 1.52.5.

I have not used UI.LineItem annotation, rather used all custom columns. The reason was that I wanted custom widths for all my columns. (max-width does not work well and other formatting requirements).

For the default Sort Order I used UI.PresentationVariant, specifying default sort property. But this is not having any effect. What can be the reason?

jocelyn.dart , I saw your blog and followed all the steps. It will be great if you can help.

Thanks

Hi

Did you get solution for this? I am unable to get the sorting on a key field inspite of defining the PresentationVariant annotation without the qualifier.

According to the current documentation (1.82.4) [1], the PresentationVariant annotation is interpreted by the SmartTable. However, the follwoing restriction applies:

• SortOrder is not evaluated for the ResponsiveTable control.
