3682955 - Sorting functionality for content objects and document links in sap successfactors learning

Symptom

  • Sorting functionality for content objects does not work as expected when clicking "Object-ID".
  • Document links under items do not guarantee sorting order, and there is no sorting function in the header.

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors Learning

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Navigate to Learning Administration.
  2. Select Content.
  3. Choose Content Objects.
  4. Search and click "Object-ID", observe the sorting behavior.
  5. Navigate to Learning Administration.
  6. Select Learning Activities.
  7. Choose Items.
  8. Search for an item and go to Document Links.
  9. Add more links from the list and observe the sorting behaviour.

Cause

  • Sorting order is determined by HANA database queries, which prioritize lower case, upper case, and numbers in ascending or descending order.
  • Document links under items do not have a sorting function in the header, and the order is directly influenced by HANA database behavior.

Resolution

  1. Confirm that the LMS application reflects the sorting order returned by HANA database queries.
  2. Note that the sorting expectation is as follows:
    • Lower case is treated with lower priority than upper case.
    • Upper case is treated with lower priority than numbers.
    • Ascending order example: 1, abc, ABC, 123.
    • Descending order example: 123, ABC, abc, 
  3. Document links under items do not guarantee sorting order due to the absence of a sorting function in the header.
  4. The sorting issue is confirmed to be caused by HANA database behavior, and no changes can be made from the application side.
  5. For further assistance, it is recommended to raise a ticket to the HANA team to address the sorting issue.
