Setting default sort orders

By the end of this section you will be able to:

  • Set a default sort order on a Stream View

Find the Stream for this exercise:

  • Open the model Dashboards and Forms 01-08: Views, filters and dashboards
  • Open the Stream configuration form for Overall Debt Levels, and go to the Sort Orders tab
  • Add a sort order:
    • Press 
    • Name: PaymentMeans,DebtLevel
    • Sort by PaymentMeans (ascending), DebtLevel (descending)
      • You add attributes to the sort by dragging them into the right-hand column (Order Attributes)
      • You change the sort order by pressing against an order attribute
    • Press  to save the sort order
  • Open the configuration form for the view Overall Debt Levels
    • Go the Advanced tab
    • Set this as the Default Sort Order
    • Press  to save your changes
  • Open the view to see the results

Add a further sort order to the Stream:

  • Name: PaymentMeans,CalculationDate
  • Sort by PaymentMeans (ascending), CalculationDate (ascending)

You will use this sort order in the next exercise.

In PhixFlow, any saved sort order used on a view on a Stream can be used on any other view defined on that Stream.
