Node Sortings

Node Sortings facilitate a degree of “auto-scheduling” by allowing tasks to be worked using an arbitrary ordering of nodes which might be intended, for example, to target the highest grade, or work in a structured order not specified by the level structure.

In the Project Explorer, right-click on a Data Table and select Setup | Node Sortings.

Sorting Entries

Sorting entries comprise of an (Alphanumeric, Numeric, Text) Sort Type, a Sort Expression used to sort Table Nodes based on their positions and attributes, and an (Ascending, Descending) Sort Order.

Sort Expressions

	Move the currently selected item(s) Up to reorder the list.
	Move the currently selected item(s) Down to reorder the list.
