What you're looking at is a data entity definition, not OData services.

If you want to use OData to sort by InventTrans.Qty, expose this data source field as an entity field. Let's say it'll be called InventTransQty. Then you can use an OData query like this:

Thanks Martin.

I am looking to sort data at data entity level. Below example, I wants to show on Odata

Example: 1 line with 10 qty. breaks into three line and we have displayed these breaks qtys. using "InventTrans" table

on the inventTrans datasource levels we want to sort "inventTrans" details.

I don't think what you ask for is possible. Ordering is what you do by a query and when you want to do it via OData, you have the solution in my previous reply.

Unfortunately the sort feature of entity data is not provided for now, because it requires a lot of resources and can impact system performance.
We are recommended to export entity data to SQL database by BYOD etc. once and execute sorting if needed.

What is the source of this information? I can't confirm it - sorting does work for me.
