Change OrderedBy in SystemView

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hi!


We're running on Dynamics CRM 2015, and on a Form (Contact) we have a SystemView with associated Entities (Custom).

The custom entity has a Date-Field which is unfortunately a text field, ordering is currently DAY-MONTH-YEAR,

but i want to change it to YEAR-MONTH-DAY.

The problem is i don't know where to achieve this, a PostRetrieveMultiple Plugin could be sufficient but a can change only the order like

asc or desc (I'd need to order parts of the string).

A possible solution could be calculated fields (so i could manipulate ordering in the plugin) bzt those would need to get substrings of the date field and i couldn't find any way to get substrings in calculated fields.

Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks in advance :)

    Thanks for that idea!

    So there is no native way eg. Post-/PreRetrieveMultiple or calculated field?
