Posted on by Alaa Ramadan 4,130

Hi,

I'm using CRM 2016 on premise. trying to set the sort order for a chart.

The chart is based on a view that use the case entity as primary entity and the account as linked entity

The field that I'm trying set the chart order by originate from the linked entity

I have exported the chart xml and added the line in red below  then imported the xml back however I do not see any impact

Not sure if I'm missing anything:

<fetchcollection>
        <fetch mapping="logical" aggregate="true">
          <entity name="incident">
            <link-entity name="account" from="accountid" to="customerid" link-type="outer">
              <attribute groupby="true" alias="_CRMAutoGen_groupby_column_Num_0" name="new_accountgroup" />
   <order alias="_CRMAutoGen_groupby_column_Num_0" name="new_accountgroup" descending="false"/>
            </link-entity>
            <attribute alias="_CRMAutoGen_aggregate_column_Num_0" name="incidentid" aggregate="count" />
    
          </entity>
        </fetch>
      </fetchcollection>

    I just want to add, the current sort order seems to be based on the option set value instead of the label.

    I thought this was an old bug that has been fixed on the newer version of CRM

    How about rearrange the option set in the customization as a workaround?

    Do you mean re-arranging the display order? i tried it this already and it has no impact.

    If you mean overriding the values? Cannot do this since it has been used and referenced by other entities

    Anyone have an update on this string?  I'm in D365 online, and running into the same thing.  My chart is sorting on the value of the option set, not the label, which is pretty useless.  Is there a way to get it to sort on the label?

    I came to the same requirement from the client as you mentioned where I have to sort the chart using linked entity attribute(lastname), I have done this using below Fetchxml for it.
