Sorts
Use native sorts or
IBM® Rational® Publishing Engine
sorts to insert data in a specific order in an output document.
Sorts can be specified in two ways:
Rational Publishing Engine
sort: This sort consists of a list of attributes and an ascending or descending sort order.
Native sort: This sort consists a plain text in a format specific to each data source type.
Tip:
Use native sorts whenever possible. Native sorts are more effective and generate documents faster than
Rational Publishing Engine
sorts.
Native sorts have the following restrictions:
For
IBM Rational DOORS®
, this text must be in the format of the
Rational DOORS
sort.
The
IBM Rational Tau
data source does not support native sorting. Use
Rational Publishing Engine
sorting.
