How to Sort a TreeControl by Date (Descending)

Solved389 views16th May 2025TreeControl

Santiago Alzate [SLC] [DevOps Advocate]128 9th December 2024 0 Comments

I’m trying to set up a TreeControl sorted by date in descending order (newest to oldest).

From what I understand in the documentation, adding the pipe | in OverrideDisplayColumns lets me specify the column to sort by. But when I tested it, the sorting always happens in ascending order, and I can’t figure out how to make it sort descending instead.

OverrideDisplayColumns element | DataMiner Docs

Does anyone know if it’s possible to sort by descending order directly? If not, is there any trick or workaround to make this work?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Santiago, I’m not aware of a way to sort descending instead of ascending. A possible workaround is to add an additional (hidden) column with the values in opposite order to sort on.
