Ranking dimensions manually

Always rank dimensions manually, by placing them in ranked order in the Dimensions view. The MDEX Engine will return dimensions in this order.

Note: The use of manually ranked dimensions does not affect MDEX Engine performance. However, indexing time is slightly increased by heavy use of this feature.

To rank your dimensions:

In the Dimensions view, click the Name column header to cycle the order of the dimension sort so that the dimensions are displayed in rank order (you'll see Sort by Rank in the lower left corner of the Dimensions view).
Select the dimension whose rank you want to change.
Click the Up or Down buttons to move the dimension to the correction position.
