Limitiations:

This can't be done on alphanumeric fields (like of type string or text) that have an unlimited length. This is a HANA limitation. Most standard fields aren't affected by this as they have limited length.

However almost all PDI extension fields are effected by this limitation. If you try and sort by a PDI text field, you will receive an error. Partners developers should be putting a sort option of "noSort" on these columns in the UI designer so that end users cant click to sort.
