Sorting

You can use sort keys to specify the order in which block data will be added to the output. If no sort keys are used, data will be 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 Edit > Sort Criteria. The Edit Sort Criteria dialog box opens.

2	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 by spaces. Data will be sorted according to the first key. Block instances that equally fulfill the first sort will be sorted according to the next key, and so on.
