Sorting

Sorting allows you to sort data in ascending or descending order.

This function is available:

• for widgets: List, GroupingHierarchy.
• for fields: See more field types

Sorting can be enabled in two ways:

• On the field Sorting must be enabled explicitly at the field level
• Not recommended. At the application level Sorting is enabled by default for all fields in the application.

Info

Sorting won't function until the page is refreshed after adding or updating records.

How to add?

Example

Step 1 Add sort-enabled-default = false in application.yml

If the parameter is not set to true, sorting must be enabled explicitly at the field level.

    cxbox:
       widget:
           fields: 
                sort-enabled-default: false

Step 2 Add fields.enableSort to corresponding FieldMetaBuilder.

    @Override
    public void buildIndependentMeta(FieldsMeta<InputSortDTO> fields, InnerBcDescription bcDescription, Long parentId) {
        if (configuration.getForceActiveEnabled()) {
            fields.setForceActive(InputSortDTO_.customField);
        }
        fields.enableSort(InputSortDTO_.customField);
    }

At the application level

Not recommended.

If the parameter is set to true, sorting is enabled by default for all fields in the application.
