To find relevant information more easily, you can sort the table output of a query by specific columns. The result depends on the query output itself.
If a column contains a mixture of values, such as ARIS objects, ARIS models, ARIS attributes, intermediate results or static values, etc., only ARIS database elements and attributes are sorted.
If your unsorted output looks like this example:
Sorting criteria:
Criterion on first position: column C is to be sorted in descending order.
Then column D is to be sorted in the same way.
Result:
The members (column C) are sorted in descending order. Column D is not sorted in descending order, since this would be contrary to the previous sorting of column C.
Merged cells
If the table output contains merged cells, such as Company and Team leaders, the sorting is applied only on blocks of cells related to the merged parent:
Sorting criteria:
Criterion on first position: column C is to be sorted in descending order.
Then column D is to be sorted in the same way.
Result:
The members (column C) are sorted in descending order according to their team leaders (merged cells containing the team leaders). Column D is not sorted in descending order, since this would be contrary to the previous sorting of column C.
If the table output contains merged cells, such as Company and Team leaders, the sorting is applied only on blocks of cells related to the merged parent:
Sorting criteria:
Criterion on first position: column D is to be sorted in descending order.
Then column C is to be sorted in the same way.
Result:
The Salary figures (column D) are sorted in descending order according to the related team leaders (merged cells containing the team leaders).
