Sorting Dimension Elements and Bindings in an Alias Set

You can sort the alias set bindings in ascending or descending order by the dimension element name, dimension element path, or binding string. Sorting eases locating the binding that you want to work with.

  To sort dimension elements and bindings:

  1. If have not already done so, in the Metadata Navigator, right-click the alias set to which you want to apply sorting and select Edit to launch the Alias Set dialog box.

  2. Under Bindings, select a binding, and then right-click.

  3. From the popup menu, select an option:

    • Sort by dimension element name

    • Sort by dimension element path

      Note:

      To use this option, select the Show full path for dimension elements option to enable it. A check mark appears next to this option when it is enabled. When selected, the full path and dimension element name appear in the Dimension element column.

    • Sort by bindings

    • Sort ascending

    • Sort descending

    • Show full path for dimension elements

  4. Optional: After you locate the binding to work with, you can continue with one of these tasks:
