Controlling Text Sorting

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

The user can set the ordering of files in the list of various product module, such as sorting all data sets in  Create Data Set, sorting all dashboards in Create Dashboard, and sorting all jobs in Schedule Tasks, and so on.

The default sorting in Create Data Set is as follows:

controlText

When the user modifies the sorting information, the following statements need to be added in bi.properties:

compare.text.local=xxx

compare.text.case.sensitive=xxx

The first attribute sets the sorting principle. The value can be true or false. When the value is true, the Chinese files are sorted by Chinese Pinyin, and the English files are sorted by the first letter; when the value is false, the files are sorted according to ASCII.

The second attribute is used to set whether English is case-sensitive or not. The value can be true or false. When the value is true, the English files are case-sensitive; when the value is false, the English files are case-insensitive.

The user can also manually drag the file in Create Data Set and Create Dashboard by configuring the attribute: manual.sort.repository=true.
