3112582 - Custom sorting is not reapplied when selection in dimension input control changes in SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC)

Symptom

  • The following behavior occurs in SAP Analytics Cloud:

          When selecting a new dimension in the input control, custom sorting that was originally applied is no longer applied to the table or chart.

Environment

  • SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC)

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Create a custom sort for a dimension in a table or chart
  2. Change dimension input control to change dimension to other dimension.
  3. Select the order in step1 back in dimension input control
    ==>Notice that the custom order will not re-applied to the dimension.

Cause

The behavior is by design: Changing a dimension in an input control behaves as if you remove the dimension from the table or chart, and then add it back.

Resolution

Manually apply the custom sort after changing dimension input control.

An enhancement request has been submitted to keep the custom order even when changing the dimension in the input control - Custom Sort in tables with Dimension Input Controls.
