Sort order of reports - Wishlist

Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

Reports do not use the sort order specified for the project.

 

E.g. the project has German sort order defined

The order in the project explorer follows the usual German sorting

 

Bock

Böck

Bogner

Bosch

...

Busch

Carl

 

In the report, the persons appear in the English (ASCII) sort order, i.e.

Bock

Bogner

Bosch

....

Busch

Böck

Carl

 

 

It would be nice to have the same sorting in project explorer and reports

 

 

 

Regards

Helmut

Helmut,

just to clarify things a bit... you're talking about the collate sequence, right?

 

>>From Wholly Genes Help:

Collate sequence

The collate sequence is the order in which letters of your preferred alphabet will appear in lists. Changes in the collating sequence are necessary to properly sort diacritics, umlauts, etc. Your choices are: Dutch, General, German, Iceland, Machine, NORDAN, Spanish, SWEFIN, UNIQWT. If you are using English, you need not change anything. GENERAL applies to English and all other languages not listed. After you change the collate sequence, it is necessary to re-index the project.

 

Other than that I agree that reports actually don't seem to honor other collate sequences than the default. :(
