Sorting

You can use sort keys to specify the order in which block data is added to the output. If no sort keys are used, data is added in the same order as specified in the Event configuration, i.e. in the same order as in the Message.

To specify sort keys for a block

1	In the Process view, right-click the block and select Block Properties. The Output Block Properties dialog box opens.

2	In the Criteria field, edit the sort criteria and click OK.

Syntax

"<field>":"<type><order>"

For example:

"customer_name":"SA"

<type> is either S (alpha-numeric) or N (numeric)

<order> is either A (ascending) or D (descending)

Multiple sort keys

Multiple sort keys are separated with spaces. Data is sorted according to the first key. Block instances that equally fulfill the first sort are sorted according to the next key, and so on.
