Study Notes
Sorting Records in Flow.BI Reports
-
ORDER BY
in SQL statements has no effect on sorting records in reports. - Dashboards provide a sort menu for end-users.
- Data transformations allow sorting during report design.
- Sorting is available for both reports and dashboards.
- Flow.BI Reports offers several options for sorting, statically during report design and dynamically at runtime.
Static Sorting (Data Band Sorting)
- Select the data band needing sorting.
- In the Properties window, set the
Sort
property to a comma-separated list of expressions.
Dynamic Sorting (User-Initiated Sorting)
- Enable sorting for data bands or chart components.
- End-users click column headers to sort ascending/descending.
Additional Considerations
- Multiple sorting levels are possible. (Specify multiple levels for complex scenarios).
- Custom sorting through custom functions or data transformations is allowed.
- Performance is optimized by considering data source queries and report design (to minimize sorting time for large datasets).
