When filtering an SV5 Matrix (from DODAF ABM), I choose to sort (by using the sort button to access to sort screen) the Operational activities using the Detail Reference Numbers.  When the Matrix is displayed, it is sorted by the Name of the Operational activity.  If I choose descending sort, the names are in reverse alphabetical order, so it definitely is sorting by the names.

Is there a way to fix this so it sorts by Reference number?

Even better is there a way I can also display the reference number in the matrix screen (show a secondary unique key)?

Hi
I looked at the length of the 'Detail Reference Number' property and it is set in saprops.cfg to 1000.
Unfortunately, at present the matrix editor will only sort properties up to 246 characters in length, and USRPROPS.TXT cannot truncate the length of pre-existing properties.

There is also no option to display more than just the object name in the matrix editor.

I will raise a enhancement request to allow sorting of fields exceeding 246 characters in length (even if it only sorts by the first 246 characters - if there is a technical reason for this). I am guessing your numbering does not exceed 246 characters in normal use anyway.

I will also raise an enhancement request to ask for the display of an optional additional property in the matrix - I know this is something other users have requested in the past.

Sorry that doesn't help you too much right now.

Thanks
Ian
