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 Sort icon icon in the template content editor.
