Sorts
Use native sorts or IBM® Rational® Publishing Engine sorts
to insert data in a specific order in an output document.
Sorts can be specified in two ways:
- Rational Publishing Engine sort: This sort consists of a list of attributes and an ascending or descending sort order.
- Native sort: This sort is written in a plain text format that
is specific to each data source type.Tip: Use native sorts whenever possible. Native sorts are more effective and generate documents faster than Rational Publishing Engine sorts.
Results
When you add a Rational Publishing Engine or
native sort to an element, the element displays an
icon in the
template content editor.
