Symptom
- When trying to sort a Table in an Analytic Application using the "Table_1.sortByMember("Dimension", SortOrder.Ascending);" formula, the function is working as expected.
- It is sorting by the ID of the Dimension. Is it possible to sort the Dimension using its Description ?
Environment
- SAP Analytics Cloud - Analytics Designer
Cause
Analytics Designer doesn't have a standard feature to sort by description. Only the ID of the dimension can be sorted.
Resolution
For missing features and functionality, this request of sorting by Description of dimension would be qualified as an enhancement request, to submit in our "Continuous Influence" program.
