The Sorting analysis tool orders specified dimensions of the query result set in ascending or descending alphanumeric order. Sorting definitions are dynamic and are applied as the document is drilled, pivoted, and changed.
The Information panel Sorting segment displays all client-based sorting definitions.
Multiple sorting definitions are applied in the order presented by the Analysis Tools Manager. Sorting definitions applied to axes with equal values may subsequently be rearranged by sorting definitions applied to axes with diverse values. The document display is the result of the cumulative application of all active sorting, client-side and server-side, even though it may appear that only the last sorting definition is applied.
