Hi Community,

 

I want to set default sorting in  the reference list based on ASCENDING order of 'ORDER' field:-

I tried with the solution mentioned on below link:-

 

https://www.servicenow.com/community/now-platform-forum/sort-in-ascending-for-reference-field/m-p/10...

 

Also, tried with the below Business rules:-

 

1. Before Insert/Update BR with condition- Name is iogc_choice_definitions.db.order

2.Before Insert/Update BR with condition-Name is iogc_choice_definitions.db.order.direction

But neither of the solution is working.

 

Could someone please help me on this?

 

Thanks,

Ankita

@Dr Atul G- LNG  Still not working. My requirement is to set default sort order in reference field.

For Example:-

If user opens the reference list then default sort is:-

But when user change the sort order by clicking the choice value column, the sort order changes as below:-

AnkitaKolhe_1-1707735402596.png

So when user close the reference pop up window & again opens the reference list, then default sort should be applied(see screenshot 1) instead of the sort did by user(screenshot 2).

 

Thanks,

Ankita
