How do you Sort objects in a Class?

system · December 22, 2006, 3:15pm

Hello All,
I have a Class (Resi_Loans) residing in the designer with 154 objects. The objects are randomly listed. I would like to sort the objects and put them in alphabetical order for ease of selection.

Can anyone tell me how to do it?

Thanks for your help.

You’re not going to like this John, but by hand is the answer!
Although you may be able to do something with the SDK.

Hi,

the position of the object in the class is stored in the BO repository table UNV_OBJECT, column OBJ_POSITION.

So you may want to try to update this field in the way how you want your objects to be sorted.

However, manipulation with the data in BO repository is not supported by BO and may possibly void your current support. So if you did it then you should know what you do and should do it at your own risk. And of course do a backup of the universe and of your BO repository as well.

Hi Marek,

where do i find this “BO repository table UNV_OBJECT” ?? That means the exact location where this UNV_OBJECT is stored? I am very much interested to see whether it works fine or not.
