Reference Field : How to sort the results in descending order using reference qualifier?

Hi All,

I have a variable of reference field type with simple condition in it.

I need to sort the results by a column in descending order.

I used variable attributes section where ref_ac_order_by=columnname.

This is doing ascending order sorting.

How to do it descending order sorting by a column name?

I have referred many community links and also got to know , have to write query business rule. But I am not happy with that.

Kindly advise using variable attributes sorting by descending or a better way.

Thanks,

Ram Prakash K R

Can you try like this

var encodedquery = "sys_created_on>=2020-12-14^sys_created_on<=2020-12-15 23:59:59";

Thanks,

To my knowledge, it is only achievable with the query business rule... 😕

Hi Thom,

If I write the query business rule, it will affect the results wherever that table has been referenced.

Am I correct?

Yep, you are correct.

Hi,

Sorting the list with ascending or descending is based on User preference

Reference qualifier don't support sorting.
