Problem with orderby in Odata query

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Shooowtek 843

Hello,

I am trying, using orderby, to sort the received data from OData.
However, it is not working for me - doesn't sort..

I using:

[*d365URL*]/data/[*data entity collection name*]?&orderby=[*field*]

Is this no longer supported?

Thanks.

    Hello,

    I can see that sorting does not work on custom data entities..

    I tried comparing my entity to standardoywch, but found nothing. Is some settings responsible for OData sorting? Or maybe the custom tables I created don't have the right settings?

    Thanks.

    I have tried with my custom Data entity and sorted on Qty field and it worked perfectly fine. I don't think there is any extra setting or property required.

    Unfortunately it doesn't work on my custom data entity.

    Does anyone have any suggestions?

    How is the data sorted by default in the data entity?

    Hi Shooowtek,

    The orderby query is supported, I noticed that you have used the wrong symbols. Please try with the symbols ‘$’ again.

    [*d365URL*]/data/[*data entity collection name*]?$orderby=[*field*]

    Hey All,
     
    I came across this issue with a client using the "General Ledger Entries" Page 20 as an OData data source. After some testing, I have learned that $orderby will not work when the data source is a page that has default sorting defined by the SourceTableView property.
     
    Thanks
