information design tool - sort dimension elements

[Former Member]

Hello,

is it possible to set a sort order (A-Z) when your are creating a new dimension in the IDT?

I found only the sort order at runtime in the context menu of the dimension, but it can`t be saved permanently.

I`d like to prevent to set the sort order in each data source of the design studio...

Thanks and regards,

Sabrina

Hi Sabrina - I changed the primary tag from Design Studio to Semantic Layer since your question is about the IDT

Please see http://sapassets.edgesuite.net/tools/SAP-Community-Tags.xlsx for a complete list of tags.

Sorry I saw that I have to specify the question more detailed...

I want to sort the elements of a dimension in the IDT, not the dimensions itself.

Example:

The elements of dimension "project" are A57, A31, B99, A10 -> sorting should be A10, A31, A57, B99 so they came in the right order in the design studio.

Is there a possibility to do this in the IDT? There is a sort order A-Z but it this can`t be saved permanently.

you have to do manually in the business layer.objects sorting is not possible yet.
