SORTLEVEL
The SORTLEVEL command in Essbase Report Writer sorts all members added with a member selection command, such as <CHILDREN, according to the level of the member.
Each member is 1 level higher than the highest level of its children. Members entered without using a member selection command, calculated rows and column names, or member commands encountered prior to the SORTLEVEL command are not affected.
If used, SORTLEVEL must precede the selection commands; for example, CHILDREN or DESCENDANTS.
Syntax
<SORTLEVEL
Notes
SORTLEVEL sorts members from the lowest level to the highest level.
Example
The following report script example is based on Sample Basic.
<PAGE (Product, Measures)
East Sales
<COLUMN (Scenario, Year)
Actual Budget
Jan Feb Mar
<ROW (Market)
<SORTLEVEL
<IDESCENDANTS Market
!
