Sorting Members

You can sort members in ascending or descending order, by children or descendants. Sorting members affects the outline. For example, you can alphabetize a list of child members by sorting in descending order to help users quickly locate members in hierarchies in the Edit Member Properties grid.

To sort members using the Edit Member Properties grid:

1. View Edit Member Properties.

   See Accessing the Simplified Dimension Editor.

2. On the grid, select the member whose children or descendants you want to sort.
3. For Sort, select Children or Descendants.

   Note:

   • If you do not see the Sort options at the top of the page, click (More Options).

   • Sorting by children affects only members in the level immediately below the selected member. Sorting by descendants affects all descendants of the selected member.

4. Click (Sort Ascending) or (Sort Descending).
