Sorting elements

When you map repeatable nodes, you can specify sort options for these mappings.

The following instructions apply to the Resource perspective, but they will also work in many other perspectives.

Follow these steps to specify the sort option for a mapping:

  1. Open your map file in the XML mapping editor.
  2. Create the mapping by selecting a source element and a target element, then right-clicking and selecting Create Transform. The source and target elements must be repeatable.
  3. Right-click the target node, and click Sort Transforms and select one of the following options:
    • Sort by source. Sorts the mapping by the source element.
    • Sort by target. Sorts the mapping by the target element.

The mapping will be sorted according to the option that you selected.
